Rough wildland singletrack with some navigation needed on the pipeline connector/4x4 road and a mudbog crossing. Look into the bushline for where the trail continues.

 Two logs down across the trail, lots of time to stop if you’re coming up from Phil’s, might be sketchy coming down the other way.

 Overall good but the bridge over the creek is destroyed. You can still cross the creek by walking across the broken prices

      The bridge over the swamp has been redone as well as switch backs to climb the nasty gravel road. Navigation should not be a problem anymore!

      Section of trail missing. When you get to the quad trail, follow for a bit, cross the swamp and find the trail back on the other side.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
