Trail Overview
Drake Road is another trail that users can loop together with nearby routes to create an enjoyable afternoon of wheeling and exploring coastal North Carolina. This trail is primarily an overgrown two-track and does not appear to receive the same level of maintenance as some of the surrounding roads. Thick vegetation encroaches on portions of the trail, adding to the sense of adventure but also reducing visibility of the trail surface ahead. Users should use caution when traveling through the more heavily overgrown sections, as mud holes and standing water may be hidden beneath or behind the vegetation, particularly following periods of heavy rain. Coastal soil conditions can change quickly when saturated, so questionable mud holes should be approached carefully. Drake Road makes a great addition when connecting several of the area's trails into a longer route.
