Very cool ride through the woods, but not really an “off road trail”…same as all my other reviews in this area, these are simply gravel roads, you won’t even need to engage four wheel drive. They are really nice rides, and I’d do them again, but was hoping for a bit more rugged terrain.

Access Description

Take Route 125 East towards Blue Creek from West Union, then turn onto Forest Road 16.
