Index Wall Overlook Trail is a very, very challenging ride. At only 3.2 miles it isn't a very big trail, but it has more obstacles to overcome on your ATV than you will encounter on much longer ATV trails.
In order to ride this challenger, make sure you have your ATV permit in a clearly visible place and as with all Oregon trails, make sure to follow the rule of thumb, "If you bring it in, take it out with you and leave nothing behind but tire tracks."
Now are you ready for a wild ride on your ATV? This is a trail that needs more than a little preparation to insure your ATV ride is a positive experience. There are several water traps along this ATV trail that can lead to frustration if you don't do a little advance planning. If you plan this out and know what you're facing on this ATV trail, you're in for a truly challenging and skill testing experience for you and your ATV.
There is a lot of mud on this ATV trail as well, best not to try the trail right after a rain. Wait a day or so before taking this one on with your ATV. After the initial entrance into the ATV trail, the rest of the trail features a lot of dips and turns that will test your skill levels but nothing harder than the beginning of the ATV trail ride.
There are lots of dense foliage, dips, and hills but the real treat comes at the end of the ATV trail; there is a definite reward. There is an awesome view over a 350-foot cliff that overlooks the town of Index. Stop your ATV and look for a while, you earned this view!
