While not technical, this doubletrack ATV trail is a fun cruise. Sit back and enjoy the old logging road converted into a loamy delight of a mixed use trail. Cruise through several patches of old growth where you swear you will see Bigfoot lurking. There was only a short section that even requires pedaling if you are cruising down it as part of a loop with Trail 808 and the 313.

Access Info

Can be reached via Forest Road 258 or 534.
