Ralph Road

This trail follows a relatively long, well-maintained gravel road that offers a steady and enjoyable drive through a mix of forest and open fields. While the surface is generally in good condition, drivers should expect some bumps and corrugations, especially near the beginning of the route, which starts in the north at the LaCroix Ranger Station, which has a picnic area and an interpretive hiking trail. Along the way, you’ll pass by scattered residences as well as a small airstrip set in a clearing, giving the area a unique and somewhat unexpected landmark. Several smaller trails branch off from the main route, inviting exploration, though not all are accessible. At the far end of the main trail in the south, it runs dead into a private residence.
