Green Bench Road

Trail Overview

This long, winding trail ascends into the mountains, eventually reaching elevations where the forest transitions almost entirely to shortleaf pine. The road is primarily gravel and generally well maintained, though it narrows in places and becomes rocky and bumpy, with several stream crossings--some dry, others with flowing water in April. Along the route, travelers will pass through large sections of private land, including a notably expansive and organized ranch. Despite this, there are numerous branching trails that may lead to suitable spots for dispersed camping. However, the area lacks basic amenities such as trash disposal and a water supply, and cell reception is limited.
