J Main

Trail Overview

The J Main Trail combines J Main Road, NC3000A, and NC1000M for a long and scenic route that connects the Atluck Main and Merry Widow Main Trails. It begins just after crossing the bridge on Atluck Main and features a gravel track that winds through a lush, low-canopy forest filled with wildflowers, berry bushes, and dense vegetation. This narrow trail, approximately a vehicle and a half wide, offers a peaceful and immersive drive through vibrant coastal forest scenery. Along the way, you'll pass a picturesque waterfall tucked into the foliage -- a quiet highlight perfect for a short break or photo stop. Though the trail is generally smooth, it does contain many small potholes, so drivers should stay alert and travel at a moderate speed for comfort and safety.

Difficulty

While narrow in places, the trail is suitable for most high-clearance vehicles. About one mile into the trail from the Atluck Main side, there is a noticeable dip caused by water erosion. Drivers should slow down and navigate this section carefully to avoid damage. The erosion dip requires no technical expertise, just a bit of vigilance, and the main considerations on this trail are avoiding potholes and yielding to traffic in tighter sections.
