Trail Overview

This trail connects Blacksnake Run to State Route 219 through Forest Road 150, also known as Medes Run. It is a gravel track that passes two ponds. This will make a nice trip in the fall during the leaf change. There is plenty of hiking and other exploration that can be done off of this trail.

Typical gravel/dirt forest road. Lots of wildlife in the area. Not sure why this trail is rated a 4 vs black snake run which is much more technical especially the hill climb
