This 6-mile-long gravel road (715) extends northward from Rt 250 to 95 at Elkhorn Lake. On the south end, access is gained to Braley Pond. For much of its length, Braley Pond Road parallels the Calfpasture River, which crisscrosses the road several times. Most of the drive is through hardwood forest. Watch for neotropical migrants in the spring/fall as well as breeders such as Ovenbird, Worm-eating Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, and Chestnut-sided Warbler, Ruffed Grouse, Red-eyed Vireo, Scarlet Tanager, and plenty of woodpeckers and Brown Creepers.
