5S04 - Maple Springs Road - Cleveland NF
5S04 (Maple Springs Rd.) from the Silverado Gate to Maple Springs Junction.
The first half of the road is paved with some possible mild water crossings and the second half is dirt. Most trucks and SUVs should be able to make it to Maple Springs Junction without the use of a 4x4 low-gear.
This trail is not recommended for low clearance vehicles as there are a few bumps and ruts that will cause small cars to "hi-center"
Areas past Maple Springs Junction are not as well maintained and can require high clearance and a 4x4 low-gear.
