Need to Know

Getting to the trailhead is no easy task. Riding this in the opposite direction, while allowed, would likely include some hike-a-bike.

Description

Now that you've dragged yourself all the way up to the Stover Creek trailhead, battled gnarly Pinhoti - Snake Creek Gap to Dug Gap (The Snake) rock gardens and given blood to its seasonal briars, why not reward yourself with a 2+ mile plunge along Stover Creek?

The first quarter mile is steep, narrow, and difficult to see, followed by another mile of primitive singletrack. The rest is an old logging road and FS 207 (with one significant creek crossing). The 1.5-mile climb back to the Pinhoti - Snake Creek Gap to Dug Gap (The Snake) is on an all gravel relatively easy road (FS 207A).

Stover Creek trail comes down from the small road on the right, and makes a sharp turn onto the FS road on the left to head back to the Pinhoti,  This area can also be used for parking.
