This maintained gravel county road offers an easy drive through a scenic mix of open pastureland and mature forest.

The road remains wide and smooth with gentle curves, making it suitable for nearly any high clearance vehicle or standard SUV. Along the way, you will pass the area known as Democrat Ridge and may notice spots commonly used by hunters for parking access into the surrounding woods.
