Trail Overview

This dirt track travels just north of Gatewood Reservoir. At just under 3 miles, it's a great quick run, or you can add to a route that includes some of the other local forest roads. There are a few ruts and mud holes, but nothing too extreme, and unless there was a lot of rain, it shouldn't be an issue for any moderately four-wheel drive. No camping spots are available on Pond Lick, but there is a campground at the reservoir, and dispersed camping is available on some nearby forest roads.

Difficulty

Open!! mostly gravel and dirt. More like a 1 maybe 2 when it rains, yet a nice gravel/dirt road and you have a campground very close to it.
