Merrit School is an easy, straight-through dirt road paralleling Highway 385 just north of Pactola Lake. The road is mainly packed dirt and gravel, with small protruding rocks up to fist-sized and an occasional pothole and water drainage rut. The southern half of the road is the roughest and has a few gentle grades, while the north side is extremely smooth, hard-packed, and easy to access. The very northern end of the road offers an extremely large grassy area great for camping or an ideal staging area for trucks and trailers of users heading out to tackle hardcore trails in the nearby Cereal Bowl trail system, such as Fruity Pebbles or Captain Crunch. If camping, please be aware that per Forest Order BKF-146-2019, campfires are not permitted unless the fire is in an established fire ring constructed and approved by a public agency in a designated recreation area.
This trail is suitable for any vehicle with decent ground clearance.
