Nothing that bad. Last year, I took a shortcut from a bike route, but that road didn't have shoulders so I took a side street that, according to the map, would link back to the main road. Well, that street became gravel, then a quad trail that was surprisingly fast, save for a few sand patches. Eventually, I got to a fence with no trespassing sign . Fortunately, the main road wasn't very far and got back to it via a perpendicular sand trail I had passed. The picture below is the quad trail. I hit a longer, but shallower water patch a little further (damn beaver dam).
