Briery Fork starts on Joanna Road and travels south in a "U" shape and ends back on Joanna Road at the intersection with Grassy Creek. The trail is a decent downhill run on the way to the first creek crossing and a moderate climb out. It connects to Joanna Road, Twin Oaks Trail, Turkey Knob, and Grassy Creek.
