Trail Overview
Dug Road is a minimally maintained forest service road in Moshannon State Forest. It is noteworthy for its elevation change between its high point on the Allegheny Front at over 2100 feet, and its low point about 500 feet below over the course of a mile of this forest service road's length. In the spring and fall, when the leaves are off the trees, there are some dramatic views, and one area to pull off just below the high point to pause and ponder those views. The road surface is dirt with fist-sized to football-sized rocks embedded in it. It makes for a bumpy ride, so you may want to air down for comfort. Not recommended for winter travel if snow or ice could be on the ground.

Difficulty
The road is rocky, but not technical. On the southern part with the single switchback, there are limited places to pass, and it is relatively narrow over its entire length. It could be problematic to traverse with snow and ice on the ground.
