Chestnut Mountain Spur - FS 212C

Trail Overview

This side trail branches off Forest Service Road 212 (Chestnut Mountain Road) just over 5 miles in. It's an out-and-back route primarily made up of dirt, which can become muddy and slick during wet weather. The trail is lightly traveled but remains easy to follow. Around the 1-mile mark, the path narrows significantly--vehicles that are wider than standard off-road rigs may not be able to continue past this point. Once you're in the narrow section, there are very few places to turn around, and the trail borders steep drop-offs, making caution essential.
