This is a nice woods road above the MCRT that loops up a hill and through some nice forest. This road is now closed to the public in the new Ware River Watershed Public Access Management Plan, due to its proximity to the water intake building. The MCRT itself, which travels next to the river across from the intake building, is planned to have access grandfathered in the new proposal, but other roads and trails further away (such as this one) are not so lucky.
