The trail follows Forest Road 6208-160 through Department of Natural Resources land for 1 mile.

This trail has a seasonal closure to horses, motorbikes and mountain bikes mid-October through mid-July.

The seasonal closure is to protect natural resources, minimize damage to trails, and maintain quality trail systems.

Trails are usually opened to wheeled and stock travel in mid July.
