Trail Overview
Carter Mountain trail is a maintained gravel route that becomes rough and rocky, featuring winding segments and areas overgrown with vegetation. Logging activity is evident along the trail, with blue-painted trees marking those selected for harvest, orange paint indicating protected trees, and purple designating private property boundaries. This scenic drive passes through lush forests and includes several smaller side trails, inviting further exploration. Travelers may find a few dispersed campsites, but they should prepare for the lack of amenities such as water or trash disposal and anticipate limited cell service throughout the area.
