Thrower Lane

Trail Overview

Thrower Lane is a shorter Forest Service road within the Sandhills Game Lands that provides views and access to the eastern end of Bones Fork, a flooded pond. This area frequently overflows, creating small water crossings of varying depths. While these crossings may present a minor challenge, they typically have little to no current and are manageable for vehicles with sufficient ground clearance. Additional obstacles include patches of loose sand, medium-sized ruts up to about 6 inches deep, and the occasional small mud pit following rainfall. For the most part, the road surface is well maintained, though drivers may still encounter overgrown trees, minor washouts, and potholes that add some technical variety to the trail.

Thrower Lane is possibly one of the more challenging access roads in the Sandhills Game Lands, featuring a water crossing, small to medium-sized ruts, and occasional mud pits or puddles depending on recent rainfall. The water crossing, created by a pond backed up by a beaver dam, varies in depth but is typically around 3 inches during dry conditions. After heavier rain, however, the depth can increase significantly.
