Coleto Creek -
From Victoria, TX take 59 southwest until you get to the Coleto
Creek bridge. You simply drop under the bridge where-ever you can access
it and head east along the creek. Stay within the confines of the fences, don't
go onto people's yards please. Lots of sand, airing down is a good idea.
Water can be deep in spots, be careful.
A Rating of 5 is given, which stands for 'Rutted and/or
rocky road. No shelves. Rocks up to 12" and water crossings up to 12"
with possible currents. Passable mud. Moderate grades to 15 degrees. 6"
holes. Side hill to 20 degrees. 4WD required.
No width problems.' - 4x4trails.net
'I don't think getting scratched up will be much of an issue this time
of year; most of the vegetation should have died off by now. Most any stock 4x4
can make it through if driven with a little common sense, but the sand will
swallow just about anything that is 2-wheel drive. However, I think Alec's
Explorer might make it with a set of paddle tires and a full bottle of go fast
juice. It would put on a hell of a show, anyway. There are several deep mud
holes if there has been any rain at all for those that want something hard to
play in. A bypass can usually be found for the real tricky places. The sand is
normally enough of a challenge for rigs that are not too wild. Expect water
crossings at least 10 inches deep that cannot be avoided. The whole area floods
whenever there is a big storm, so the terrain is never quite the same. I have
not been down there since the last one, so it could be a little easier or
harder. Unlike some other places, it's legal as long as you stay away from the
fences and obey basic traffic rules. Plenty of you folks claim to be from Texas,
so speak up and show up.' - Shaggy
