This gravel road is a forest service road and an extension of Boy Scout Ln that takes you up the mountain through hardwood forest. It does not connect with any other roads so it is an up-and-back trip. If the gate is open, one can drive up about a mile, and perhaps more with a 4-wheel drive vehicle, depending on the conditions of the road. This is also a hunter access road during hunting season. The forest habitat and change in elevation allows for a variety of migrant species to be found such as Acadian Flycatcher, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Wood Thrush, Great Crested Flycatcher, and various warblers (e.g. Kentucky, Ovenbird, Worm-eating, Hooded, Chestnut-sided, Pine). Other resident species include Dark-eyed Junco, Pileated Woodpecker, Wild Turkey, and Ruffed Grouse.
