Unfortunately, Hickory Nut is a retired forest service road and is not a system trail. What that means is that pruning and cutting downed trees off the trail is okay, but dirt work is off limits. We hope some day to turn it into a legitimate trail in order to address a few of the perpetually wet sections.

Rode this for the first time 5/25/22 in wet & foggy conditions. Great trail BUT it needs TLC. Someone needs to prune, possibly regrade some spots, and definitely clear the 4+ down large trees blocking the trail.
If someone can fwd this to a local trail work group thanks!!!
