Trail Overview

Nice connector trail from east of the mountains in the valley leading into the mountains. This trail passes through a national forest right of way through private property from the state road for about the first 1.5 miles. A campsite and forestry gate marks the boundary. The trail is a twisty double track with off-camber sections throughout the lower elevations. One small creek crossing washes out badly at some points but is normally passable with high clearance 4wd. Scenic views in fall/winter with a few campsites dotted along the way. No cell service anywhere in the general area.

Very tight trail with a lot of overgrowth. Pinstripes are unavoidable. Many smaller trees in the trail after a recent hurricane. Had to cut some for a larger truck to get through but nothing too large for a hand axe. Western end has big washout with a steep detour. looks worse than it is. Plan to take your time to either clear brush/trees and slow over small rocky sections.

Tight and bumpy. I will do again. I wouldn't take a new paint job through there though.

Slightly wet/muddy. Encountered a down tree about 1/3 the way through and spent about an hour clearing it with the chainsaw.

The trail was great. We did it from east to west. The entrance is through private property that is clearly marked as available for Forest Access. The beginning of the trail had some large washouts that have easy to determine lines stock vehicles will have no trouble with. It is tight and expect pinstripes. It becomes a nice shelf road for most of the trip. Difficulty rating in my opinion is accurate due to the washouts and off camber shelf road sections.

Access Description

East side follow national forest access signs from Indian Creek Rd. West side entrance off of Wiggins Springs Rd
