Rausch Creek Off Road Park: Crawl Daddy

Crawl Daddy is a rock-crawling trail from start to finish, and the 1/4 mile could take you hours to complete. There is one named obstacle, and that is its namesake, "Crawl Daddy." Several other optional and non-optional obstacles exist. It is customary to drive this trail uphill, and traction can be an issue due to trickling water that runs down the trail. A modified vehicle with lockers is recommended to enjoy the trail taking its bypasses, and a highly modified vehicle is required to complete the namesake obstacle. Listed below are the essential cliff notes to be aware of before your visit. Don't Go Alone The Park requires group sizes of two or more, no solo travel.
