Holland Road - Macon County Tour

Trail Overview

Holland Road is a short but scenic gravel segment of the Macon County Tour that offers a relaxed drive with a memorable water crossing at its end. The road is county-maintained and generally easy to navigate, though it can feel tight in places as it passes near farms and rural residences. Drivers should proceed at low speeds and be mindful of loose dogs that may approach the roadway. The route follows along Long Fork Creek for the latter part of the journey, providing several peaceful stretches with excellent opportunities for vehicle photography, especially during the fall when the surrounding foliage is vibrant. The gravel surface is typically well graded, though downed tree limbs can be present after storms. The drive culminates in a broad creek crossing with a loose rock bed. Water depth can exceed one foot in places, depending on recent rainfall, and traction may vary, making 4WD recommended for this section. After crossing, drivers will return toward the pavement, completing a brief but worthwhile addition to the tour. As always, remain on the established roadway and respect nearby private property.
