Coyle Branch Road to North White Oak Creek

Jimmy Staffey and I walked down the Coyle Branch Road in Big South Fork. At the bottom was the always beautiful North White Oak Creek. We found some signs of life including a unique culvert under the old railroad bed and an odd large iron ring.

Some pretty great signs of spring with those wildflowers. Waters are looking mighty nice and clear! You have yourself a wonderful weekend!

Pretty interesting Kerry. Loved the rock formations . That old road, as good of shape as it is, made me imagine what the roads in No business must have looked like in their day. Looks like y'all had a good explore.

Still puzzled by the large metal ring. Probably part of a locomotive. Condition of road was amazing. Only problem was 1.5 miles. I was struggling towards the top.

I’ve never took that right tire to those fields either. I had no idea they are there. I wonder why the Park Service improved that old road? To doesn’t make sense unless it’s now a multiple use road. That would be pretty handy if it is! Those streams in that part of the park are pretty. Glad you and Staffey got to go in that area. It looks like it needs to be explored a bit more!

Right now in dry weather, you could drive a car to bottom. Gated at top though. Park was also working on horse trail prior to this one.
