Trail is well maintained for the most part. The beginning and end of it can get a little rockin back and forth. Beautiful tree cover with some old swamp conditions off to the sides with creeks throughout. Can be done by a car, but would suggest at least one with some decent clearance. Please pick up trash if you come through. We picked up a decent amount of beer cans, but there's hundreds more.
