Right in the middle of the Coopers Creek Wildlife Management Area lies Dixon Branch, a short seasonal trail also known as Ridge Runner Trail. This rarely traveled trail runs along the base of Dunsmore Mountain and Parke Knob all the way to Fish Gap. There is an access point to the Duncan Ridge Hiking Trail, a strenuous trail for experienced backpackers with one of the most challenging climbs in the country at the end of this road. If you are looking for hiking, camping, or just out exploring the forest, Dixon Branch is a fun, easy trail to hit if you are in the area.
