Trail Overview

This gravel road rolls across some of the Sumter National Forest's piedmont area; it includes side puddles, that can hold water for a long time, and a delightful creek crossing that can gain depth rapidly with heavy rainfall. The creek crossing has a hard bottom (cement) but has a visible hole on the up-creek side when the water is clear.

Difficulty

The road is well maintained most of the year, however, with heavy rainfall the creek crossing can become deep. Eighty-five percent of the time the road is safe to travel with any 4x4, however, the crossing can increase to several feet.

Trail is more of a back country road through the National forest. It’s a pretty drive with one water crossing that was easy enough to navigate and the bottom is concrete. 95% of trail is just a gravel road and I’m sure is used and was updated for logging.

I don’t know who rated this road a 5 but you could do it on a moped, it’s just a gravel road with a puddle of a water crossing
