Collins Road is a well-maintained gravel road that travels through dense forest and is suitable for any vehicle. It starts as Collins Road at State Road 203, becomes FS 70 within the National Forest, and finally turns into E. Eagle Creek Road at Sparta Lane. It's all one continuous road and may have different names on various mapping packages.

Due to the dense forest, there are limited panoramic views while traveling through the National Forest. As the road exits the forest on the south end, the trees clear, and there are plentiful open views. There are no campgrounds along FS 70, but some nice dispersed camping sites are near Balm Creek Reservoir, located near the road's midpoint.

The main hazards on this road are dust, blind turns, and cattle. This area is an open-range country, so encountering cattle on the road is common.
