Overflow Creek Road

At #7 the camping spot down the hill is closed to vehicles as of Sep 2023. It was my favorite spot. If you're on the trail still walk down there and check out the huge rocks and swimming hole. A good spot to stop and hang out.

Trail is in decent shape, many rough spots and bumpy areas that I would not bring a car or regular passenger vehicle on this road anymore. 4x4 isn't necessary but high clearance is very strongly recommended these days due to minor ruts and bumpy spots.

Road is maintained and I was able to drive the entire thing in my truck only using 2wd. Had some ruts, wash out spots and gets bumpy in some spots. I went after a hard night of rain but didn't see any issues with the road. I wouldn't take a passenger car, van or low clearance SUV up there though because of the rocky areas. You could leave with your exhaust dragging behind you. Several other smaller tighter forest roads connects this road over to Hale Ridge Rd. The road is rated as easy but it was certainly more fun than expected.

Fairly Well maintained trail. Followed the trail to waypoint 6 and detoured onto Billingsley Creek Trail. Several prior days of rain had sections of the steeper trail areas washed out and added some bouncy fun. No real issues and completed the whole trail in 2WD. Also, parking for the river consisted of a few pull offs, so if there are more than one or two other cars, parking can be very tight. Thick vegetation blocked some of the vies as well but still an enjoyable trail. Will return again.

Bumpy but good

Trail was in good shape.

Trail in pretty good shape, some bumpy spots but suitable for most passenger cars. There are some steep spots, and we did see a passenger car have to make 2 attempts to get up one of the inclines but he did make it the 2nd time.

Decided to come explore some trails that were not in NC this weekend. Found the trail to be in really good condition after all the rain that we have been getting over the last couple months. Most trees were out of the road and I was able to move most that were left around.

Took a ride down here today, even more downed trees from recent heavy rains. Trees are mostly cleared, but some are still in the road with the road now going around the trees. The entire trail is passable. Some spots were pretty torn up from the storms but have been freshly graveled recently.

Rode this trail in it's entirety today, many downed trees from Hurricane Florence - most have been cut making it passable all the way through, but every side trail is blocked from downed trees. Every camping/fishing/parking area wide open - not another person on the trail.
