Trail Overview

This is a scenic route through Green Ridge State Forest. It features steep inclines and declines as well as mild ruts. At the top of this trail, you can find Banner Overlook with beautiful views, as well as group campsite seven. Four-wheel drive is recommended during the winter months as the inclines/declines get very slick with snow or ice present.
