Laurel Run Road

Trail Overview

Laurel Run Road is a well-maintained gravel trail through Rothrock State Forest. The trail climbs a series of switchbacks to a ridge before descending and entering Whipple Dam State Park. The trail passes multiple hiking trailheads, private cabins, and other off-road trails as it traverses a forest of deciduous trees, rhododendrons, and small creeks. The spring rhododendron bloom and fall foliage are especially scenic. Only highway-legal vehicles are allowed. ATVs are not allowed.
