Trail Overview

Stony River Forest Road is a long, well-maintained gravel route that cuts through the heart of the forest, offering a peaceful and scenic drive surrounded by thick stands of pine, spruce, and birch. The road is generally wide, smooth, and straight, making it suitable for most highway-legal vehicles and ideal for travelers who enjoy a relaxed forest drive rather than a technical off-road challenge. As the road stretches northward, it crosses several rivers and creeks, including sections where the water meanders through low-lying wetlands and open glades. There are numerous pullouts and small clearings along the route that can serve as quiet spots to stop, take photos, or enjoy a picnic. While not officially designated as campsites, a few areas offer enough space for dispersed camping for those looking to spend a night. Wildlife sightings are common, particularly in the early morning or evening hours, and various bird species are frequently spotted near the water. Cell reception is limited, and there are no facilities such as restrooms, potable water, or trash disposal along the route.
