Trail Overview

This starts on either side as a gravel-maintained route and then transitions to a more rough and technical area, as parts of the route are unmaintained. Some spots become tight between small trees. There is a short hill climb or descent with small ruts. The route travels along the Laurel Fork Creek and past a reservoir, which is a great location for camping. A water crossing is on the route that is less than 12 inches deep. The majority of the route is through the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Definitely need more than a ranger with ATs didn’t go with anyone so I didn’t push it too hard. I was teeter tottering on that steep part when I turned around good trail though.
