Trail Overview
This scenic 9-mile trail winds through a diverse mix of terrain--ranging from sun-dappled pine ridges and shaded hardwood bottoms to gravel roads and shallow creek fords. It's an off-road adventurer's dream, offering peaceful solitude, abundant wildlife sightings, and immersive views of Piedmont Wildlife Refuge's restored natural beauty. With every turn, the route reveals quiet wetlands, open meadows, and dense forest stands that highlight the refuge's rich biodiversity and commitment to conservation.
Difficulty
This trail had a lot of water crossings and deep, rutted sand. The sand can be deep, so 4-wheel drive is needed, and the water crossing can be up to 10-12 inches deep. There are some rocks and downed trees that you will need to navigate around, but overall, it is just a peaceful trail.
