Lime Kiln Road (FDR 194)/Douthat Road (Rt. 629)

Description

This site continues the drive started on Site MAH06. Travel along Fore Mountain once again, which provides access to higher elevation forests as well as more remote areas.

Notes:

  • Lime Kiln Road is unpaved, winding, narrow, and remote. A 4WD/AWD vehicle is highly recommended for that section of the route. Similar habitat is accessible along Douthat State Park Road which is paved.
