County Road 48

County Road 48 begins with a steep climb from Highway 7 and is heavily corrugated along the initial section. As it approaches an intersection, several blind rises require caution, mainly due to the potential for oncoming local traffic. The trail is wide and well-maintained throughout, winding through a scenic forested area with a mix of ascents and descents. It passes by several residences, so drivers should remain aware of driveways and possible vehicle activity along the route. County Road 48 eventually connects with Bally Creek Road and provides access to the North Shore XC trailhead and its associated parking area. While the surroundings are pleasant and wooded, the trail does not offer any dispersed or formal camping options. There are no amenities along the route, including trash disposal or potable water. Cell service may be limited depending on the location.
