Chestnut Ridge Road/Auger Hole Road

Trail Overview

This out-and-back trail leads to a secluded camp spot on the Horsepasture River, which is a great place to take a dip on a hot summer day. It is tight with many switchbacks along the way. It can be accomplished with any stock, high-clearance 4WD, although pinstriping is very likely. 4-low is recommended to keep brake temperatures down. Airing down at the parking lot is also recommended, as many of the climbs are scrabbly. Come and enjoy the more private area of Gorges State Park.

Difficulty

The trail leading out to the Horsepasture River is mostly downhill with 1 major climb and would be rated a 4 or so by itself. The climbs back out are long, some with sharp turns in the middle and some with more significant off-camber nature. The trail can still be done in a full-size pulling a camping trailer.
