Trail Overview
The Cut Throat Road trail is a scenic, mostly one-lane trail with some passing areas, winding through a forested landscape. The trail features a rocky road surface, interspersed with meadows and nice fields where deer can often be seen grazing. Pine trees hug the road, with limited hardwoods present, creating a dense forest atmosphere. The trail includes creek crossings and large mud puddles, adding to its rugged charm. An old log cabin adds historical intrigue along the route. Cell signal is spotty, so plan accordingly. To preserve the trail’s integrity, please stay on the main path, avoid creating new trails, and do not widen the existing trail.
Difficulty
This trail is generally easy, with smoother terrain in the first half. After the creek crossing, it becomes more rutted and off-camber, requiring careful tire placement.
History
There is a old Tie Hack cabin along the trail.
