McLean Creek OHV Loop
The run
Trail report
McLean Creek is a designated OHV area known for its rugged and demanding terrain. It's heavily forested and frequently wet, creating notoriously deep mud holes.
While there are bypasses for some of the extreme obstacles, drivers should expect deep ruts, exposed roots, and tight technical sections that will test vehicle articulation.
The area is incredibly busy on summer weekends. Proper recovery gear, including recovery boards and a winch, is strongly advised.
Know before you go
