Trail Overview

If you're into driving down some old back roads and running the outskirts of Wayne National Forest this trail has a lot to offer you. Even though it's an easy trail you will find yourself driving through gravel roads with all kinds of unique rock formations and some of the most beautiful trees. At some point, you will come to realize yourself driving a long, fast-flowing creek with plenty of pull-offs to stop and enjoy the view and family cemetery along the roadside.

this is not a 'trail', but a gravel township road. there is an interesting 4 way intersection that is Salem Hollow Rd SE and Town Highway 427, which leads back to route 216. nice wooded drive but any vehicle can drive thus on a dry day.

Very much just a long gravel road that leads to the more exciting trails
