Western Road Pocosin National Wildlife Refuge

Trail Overview

This road within the Pocosin National Wildlife Refuge area is rather similar to all the others however is very cool as it can connect to a lake within the refuge. With that being said, depending on the time of the year the connecting road was closed due to wildlife habitats. This connecting road is about halfway down the trail on the right side. Continuing past this turn results in driving on private property, the line is rather obvious as the road opens into a large farm. Past the turn, the road becomes less kept, and rather bumpy, and can be very wet depending on the amount of rain. This area has the potential to see animals ranging from butterflies, bears, deer, and many birds depending on the time of the year. It should be mentioned this is a wildlife refuge so be careful on trails, and only licensed vehicles are permitted within the refuge.
