Itinerary description

An experienced ATV rider will get to the lake with no trouble at all.
I would not suggest any larger than ATV SXS vehicles attempt this trail unless you bring ramps to cross the 13 ditches that have culverts removed and are deep but short so bumpers get hung up, a winch, chainsaw and don't mind your paint getting scuffed up..
There are 2 bridges removed from this trail, the first one is easy enough to get around, but the second one is pretty deep with a steep hill to climb on the other side.
