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.

Difficulty
The trail has occasional small potholes or 2-4" rocks. There is also one tight switchback turn. There is a large turning area but it could still be challenging for a large RV or trailer longer than 30'.
