Muddy Creek trailhead.
Muddy Creek trail is a scenic road that is usually more challenging than
many of the others in the area.

Boggy road!
The greatest problem you may face
is negotiating the many rutted mud holes.

Bumping road!

We recommend mud tires and/or chains
if the weather conditions make mud likely.
