FS 4096

FS 4096 is accessed shortly after entering the Brown Mountain Offroad Trails area. Because users must pass through the BMOT entrance gate to reach this trail, a daily or annual permit is required, although FS 4096 is not officially part of the BMOT trail network. The trail itself is a gravel single-track Forest Service road that is free from major obstacles and generally easy to navigate. Along the route, users will find ample dispersed camping opportunities, including locations suitable for multiple vehicles. The trail eventually ends at a decent-sized turnaround, providing room to maneuver and park. FS 4096 also provides users with access to nearby hiking, biking, and OHV trails, making it a useful route for exploring the surrounding area.
