Very horsey trail, rutted and eroded from commercial horse use. Best to use this trail early morning or late evening to avoid horse traffic. Early season is best as well as late in the season or after extended dry periods the smell can be overpowering.

      Avoid as a bike trail. Extremely rutty horse trail with LOTS of mud. We ended up bush wacking for several hundred feet to avoid the foot deep mud.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
