Trail Overview

This starts on either side as a gravel-maintained route and then transitions to a more rough and technical area, as parts of the route are unmaintained. Some spots become tight between small trees. There is a short hill climb or descent with small ruts. The route travels along the Laurel Fork Creek and past a reservoir, which is a great location for camping. A water crossing is on the route that is less than 12 inches deep. The majority of the route is through the Daniel Boone National Forest.
