Ridge Road (North)

Ridge Road runs through much of Michaux State Forest. The northern end is known for its access to Hammond's Rocks and for being more challenging than most of the other forest roads here. Accessing Hammond's Rocks from the south is recommended unless you have high clearance, as north of there, the well-graded road deteriorates to a more rocky, rutted, and washed-out surface. The to and from Mount Holly Springs has been graded in the last couple of years, but is not to be trifled with in the winter if there's snow or ice on the ground. Definitely see Hammond's Rocks, however you reach it! There is a view if you climb the short path to the top. The rocks are fairly impressive themselves. Do look out for snakes basking on the rocks- look before you step. This road is on the Mid-Atlantic BDR route, so be on the lookout for adventure bike traffic.
