Trail Overview
Persimmon Trail is a short forest road that delivers a quiet drive through heavily wooded national forest land. The well-maintained gravel surface and lack of major obstacles make it an easy route, but its secluded setting gives it the feel of a true backcountry excursion. The road is primarily single lane, winding through dense timber with only occasional opportunities to pass oncoming traffic.
This trail is best suited for travelers seeking scenery and solitude rather than technical driving. The forest remains thick throughout the route, creating a sense of remoteness despite the trail’s modest length. Seasonal access is generally available from March 15 through January 15, and the route is restricted to highway-legal vehicles.
