Description
Bald Rock Fork Road runs along Bald Rock Fork to just upstream of its mouth on Big Sinking Creek. It bisects the main parcel of the PMRP but is a county maintained road. This road can be utilized to form loops with the other trails and roads within PMRP. The Motherlode Hill climb near the eastern end is a great challenge.
