Porter Mountain (FR223) is a short climb most of the distance up toward the communication towers at the summit of Porter Mountain. A gate prevents unauthorized vehicles from continuing to the top, but it is a relatively short walk of a little more than ⅓ mile on the closed portion of FR233 to the towers and the summit. The gravel road is well-maintained, with some washboards and small rocks. The open portion of the road ends at a large turnaround/parking area known as Porter Mountain Outlook, from which one has expansive views (up to 180°) to the west.
The road's shortness and the terrain's nature allow few, if any, campsites.
