Trail Overview

This gravel and dirt road connects Frank Davis Road with Carpenter Road on the northern side of Green Ridge State Forest. Dispersed camping sites are located along the route, and a swimming hole can be found at the intersection of Carpenter Road and 15 Mile Creek Road. Four-wheel drive is not needed in spring, summer, or fall but may be required in winter when snow or ice is present. A steep incline near the Frank Davis Road entrance can become slick during colder months.

Coming home from Rocky Gap SP wanted to connect Green Ridge to Buchanan for a route I built. Lots of campers this first full day of spring, and bugs.
