The most forgotten-about, shortest, and least-used of the F. Gilbert Hills fire roads, nature has slowly crept back in on Bennett Road and has rendered it more of a trail than the other roads in the riding area. Conspicuously signed both at the top and bottom, Bennett Road even has a small parking area for 2-3 cars adjacent to the paved High Rock Road, at its uphill end. This is also the easiest uphill / downhill route in this part of the map, and connects on its downhill end with the flatter section of Waterhole 14.
