Redbird 3 Green

Route Finding and Path Redbird #3 Green is a combination of trails 3, 14, and 21. While this trail guide depicts the trail starting in the west and running clockwise, you can drive it in either direction. This route will intermingle with several other trails and generally moves around what is known as the "challenge areas." You will feel like you are driving through a maze of trails, and field navigation by sign alone is challenging. Field signage may or may not be intact when driving the trail, and following the route 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 on some sections will not be feasible. When dry, this is a simple and easy-to-drive trail. When wet, the trail turns to slick mud. There are shallow-standing mudholes, and when it is wet out, this trail could prove much more challenging simply due to traction issues. Traction is the difference maker, as there are no notable obstacles. Vehicle and Equipment Recommendations The trail is suitable for any high-clearance vehicles with 4-low and great for beginners and seasoned alike. All-terrain tires are recommended at a minimum, but mud-terrains are preferable simply for traction purposes. Full-size pickup trucks would struggle in some locations.
