Miles South Road

Miles South is a 3.5-mile dead-end spur road off of Summitville. The road snakes its way down a tight, single-vehicle-wide road through dense, new-growth pine trees that severely constrict the width of this trail as they mature. The road surface is hardpacked gravel and clearly driven by logging trucks, as this was a timber harvest area not too long ago. The road ends at a gate with a small turnaround, suitable for a few vehicles. Evidence suggests people camp at the end of the road, but it is not a great site. A few hundred yards before the end of the road, look south into the trees to see a spectacular hidden mountain lake. There is room to pull off alongside the road, and the lake offers a great, peaceful, and quiet hike-in campsite.
