Trail Overview
Meandering between Route 233 and Newman Road, District Road is a serene gravel forest byway through Michaux State Forest. Along the way, it provides prime access to the Carbaugh Reservoir, a tranquil fishing and wildlife-watching destination near the Carbaugh Run Natural Area, home to protected amphibian and reptile habitats and archaeological sites. This lightly traveled road climbs gently, offering several trail junctions ideal for mountain biking, equestrian use, and hiking. One notable segment descends toward Caledonia Lake and connects with other multi-use trails--including rugged single-track and snowmobile routes--for longer loop adventures. District Road blends peaceful mileage with recreation access across this historic and ecologically diverse landscape.
