Wilderness Retreat Road

Trail Overview

Wilderness Retreat Road is a gravel back road, that in conjunction with Whitney Hollow Road, forms access between the Silica Hill section to the Opossum Trot section of Shawnee National Forest. The Wilderness Retreat features three low-water bridges one being Lingle Creek near where the road branches off Lingle Creek Road. This also connects you to the South Silica Hill Road before snaking through a few small creek crossings a small hill and popping out at South County Line Road. It is a fair and maintained gravel road that keeps you off the blacktop in between trails.

Difficulty

The most difficult part could be the low water bridges if rain is heavy in the area it makes for a very cool back road to keep the offroad feel in between trails.
