Jerry’s Run Trail (Forest Trail #659)
Jerry’s Run Trail begins at Forest Road #69 in a forest clearing and follows a well-used four-wheel-drive road. The trail crosses Jerry’s Run and follows the creek, crossing eight more times before reaching the Forest Service boundary line. Jerry’s Run is a stocked trout stream with many deep fishing holes and beautiful rock formations. The first 1.3 miles is a four wheel drive road. After the second stream, crossing the road is not drivable and gets much less use. There are some impressive rock formations along this shorter section that make for a very enjoyable hike. The second portion of the trail is more difficult to follow because it receives less use. None of the trail is marked.
