10 mi   gravel

Breathitt County Section of the Dawkins Line

Gravel route from , Evanston to , Duco, Magoffin County, Kentucky

"This is all gravel: for now. My understanding is that there are plans to pave the Dawkins Line this year. Riding surface ranges from fine gravel to very large ballast so wide tires are recommended. Trail conditions range from good to washed out from runoff. This section is very remote so dogs should not be an issue. Sections are supposed to be closed to motor vehicles and open for foot, bike, and horse traffic only. However, all the gates were open when were there. "

Tom Gray Rd.

Gravel route from Tea Run Rd to Sorrell Ln, Ewing, Fleming County, Kentucky

Note: Gravel Map current has this labeled as Tea Run Rd. However, Kentucky Transportation maps show the road name changing to Tom Gray Rd. and local street signs reflect the same."

The road also holds a lot of water in a number of places. More MTB trail that gravel road, this road skirts along the ridge with some cool views before descending down to Hazel Patch Rd."

Carpenter Ridge Road

"Absolutely gorgeous, well-maintained gravel forest road that is covered by a canopy of trees. Note: On the map, it appears that Carpenter Ridge Rd turns sharply 90 degrees and continues to the NW. However, the best we could tell is that it dead ends, with the only connection being a technical, unnamed, dirt forest road, that may more closely resemble a creek, depending on how much rain we've had."

Bear Creek Rd.

You should be able to hear Bear Creek falls from the road, as you get close to the lake. It's worth hiking down from the road to see thee falls."
