Trail Overview

Barron Russell Road is a scenic drive through Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge on a well-maintained gravel road with plenty of open areas near the road to view wildlife. The road is in good shape with very few potholes. It is complete with a new fishing access dock at Pond 2A and appears to be well stocked with Bass, Crappie and Catfish. Special fishing regulations apply, so make sure you check them before fishing in the Wildlife Refuge.

This was my first go at off-roading on a motorcycle. This is a great first trail. Nice and easy the whole way through

You can drive a car on this road with no problems. Meet only one vehicle along this road which was a Buick.

Easy drive. It was mostly gravel, very few potholes. The lake was nice. I stopped by the small waterfall, which was beautiful.
