Trail Overview
This maintained gravel county road offers an easy drive through a scenic mix of open pastureland and mature forest. One end begins near private property, so respect fencing, stay on the established route, and avoid entering adjacent land. 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. The opposite end connects directly to Highway J, creating a straightforward through route.
