Trail Overview

Buffalo Gulch begins from Feliciana Mountain Road and winds for nearly 2 miles along a narrow shelf road. The track is one vehicle wide, composed of hard-packed sand, and sees a gentle gain of 120 feet before dropping more than 250 feet toward the end. The route provides excellent views of the surrounding ridgelines and the canyons below. Evidence of past forest fires is still visible along the hillsides, and low-hanging branches may brush taller trucks.
