Rocky Run

Trail Overview

This is an out-and-back trail that begins on a maintained gravel road before transitioning into more challenging terrain. The first section feels like a mix between a green and a blue rating, with a side spur leading to a clearing suitable for a break, lunch, or camping. Beyond this point, the trail becomes tighter and less maintained, with overgrown brush, downed trees, and areas of mud. Most puddles are manageable, but one has a soft bottom and should be avoided using the go-around. About three-quarters of the way in, a broken tree blocks part of the path but can be bypassed, and it could be cleared with a chainsaw if needed. The trail ends at a gate, with an ATV path branching off to the left that is not suitable for 4x4s. The return drive is often more enjoyable since obstacles are familiar, and the exit along the gravel road provides a smooth finish to the run.

Difficulty

After the easier opening section, the trail quickly settles into a steady moderate difficulty. Drivers should expect possible pinstripping from tight brush and occasional areas of deep mud. There are no large or loose boulders, but four-wheel drive is required. Full-size vehicles can get through, but the trail is narrow and will be a rough experience.
