Trail Overview

This road branches off Pineola Road - FS 464 and leads to Kawana--a small neighborhood with a few homes and large gardens--while also providing access to several hiking trails and scenic forest views. One of the key trailheads along this route is North Harper Creek Trail 266, which leads to Harper Creek Falls and a popular swimming area. Some trails may still be closed due to damage from Hurricane Helene in 2024. The road itself is well-maintained and easy to travel, with only minor ruts and minimal storm impact. A large campsite along the road can accommodate up to five vehicles, and a short distance beyond it lies access to North Harper Creek, offering opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and swimming.
