Brown Gap is typical of the forest service roads in this area, rough in spots, narrow, and tree-lined. Brown Gap closes the loop in the area by connecting Gulf Road, Chestnut Ridge, and Middle Road. The only camping opportunity on the trail is near its eastern terminus, but it is very close to private property. Camping is best found where Gulf Road and Chestnut Ridge join. Minor erosion ruts and rocks exist, but the road is considered easy and suitable for any high-clearance vehicle.
