The thrill of the unknown, the spinning of tires, pulling winchline, and the mud inside your vehicle because you forgot to roll your windows up... that is what 5X is all about! 5X is part of what
depicts as Trail #5 in Redbird State Recreation Area. Drive it with backup!
Route Finding and Path Starting from 0 Green the route will present uphill obstacles rather than downhill if you start from 5 Green. Field signage may or may not be intact when driving the trail, and following the route depicted here by utilizing the Trails Offroad app is highly recommended.
Technical The route is almost entirely dirt, with tight winding areas through trees and up and down small hills. Passing oncoming traffic some sections will not be feasible. Even in dry conditions, you will be faced with a notable mudhole. This trail could prove much more challenging simply due to traction issues when wet.
Vehicle and Equipment Recommendations It is suitable for any high-clearance vehicles with 4-low and 33" inch tires. It is a great trail for beginners and seasoned alike. Mud-terrains would be preferred simply for traction purposes. Recovery gear is a must.
