  • This trail had been calling my name for a while, marked as a solid 6 on OnX Off-Road thanks to its deep water crossings, but with little info available, I knew I had to dive in-literally. So, I took the plunge and went to scout it out, and it did not disappoint! Pads Creek is an adventure waiting to be explored, with multiple water crossings, including a thrilling 3-foot deep final stretch. And to top it all off, there are beautiful riverside camping spots that make the whole journey even more rewarding. If you're looking for an epic challenge with unforgettable views, this is the trail for you!

    Great video! We have a group hitting Pads Creek tomorrow. It’ll be my first time and my wife’s first time. Looks like an amazing trail. I’m excited!

    I've been eyeing this one for a while, but haven't made the trip yet. I'm wondering if I should pack a life jacket! :D

      It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend it checking it out! Most of the water crossings were low but the last one was the highest and depending on the weather it could get a little higher. Definitely check this one out if you like water crossings!

    I have a gladiator on 37’s and she has a 392 Rubicon XR. Hopefully the rain doesn’t have the last crossing impassable.

      @@TrailWolf83 couldn’t pass the second to last crossing. Swamped one Jeep had to pull plugs out n get water out his motor. The last crossing would have been a definite no go. I still loved the trail. Wanna go back on a weekend hike hat we haven’t had any rain cause I wanna make the last 2 crossings

      @@user-mx8bh3ds8f oh man that is unfortunate to hear! I would have liked to have to seen the trail that day! Definitely make it back again to do those crossings when the water is right. I heard Broad Run is another good water trail to check out.
