Trail Overview

Old Sand Mountain Road is a drivable trail which dead ends at a closed deer fence access gate. The trail is wide and covered with gravel. There is no maintenance on this trail, but it is kept accessible for access by the Department of Conservation. While the trail is not technical and offers little challenge for offroad vehicles, the scenery is stunning as you travel deep into the forest. Wild turkeys and deer abound in the area, as there are plenty of flooded areas along the sides of the trail from lowlands and downed trees.

Difficulty

This trail is easy to traverse in the spring, summer, and fall. The winter offers more challenges depending on the snowfall, as there is no winter maintenance on the trail. There are multiple areas along the trail that flood for most of the year after periodic rain, which can turn to ice in the winter, should you stray from the gravel trail.
