Trail Overview

Woods Road is a great area that offers dispersed camping, campground camping, hiking, and fishing options all along the 7 mile stretch of gravel. Woods Road parallels Rock Creek for most of its length and provides a great base to further explore Daniel Boone National Forest and Big South Fork. Gobbler's Arch and the Sheltowee Trace hiking trails are also accessible along the route. The majority of the road is well-maintained gravel. A few sections are rougher, but still navigable by a high clearance 2WD vehicle. Near the southern end of the trail, there are two possible water crossings during periods of high water. Both have concrete bottoms.

The gravel road is in good shape - can easily be used with 2WD, no high clearance required. Area didn't have a lot of cars/people - saw a few bears. Great Meadows campground was about 60% full over the weekend.
