Old Cherry Road

Old Cherry Road once led from Prescott to the town of Cherry situated in the Black Hills Mountains. Newer roads bypassed the old track, but it's still an easy and moderately interesting drive. The highlight is the old bridge to nowhere. Ash Creek, normally not much more than a trickle, flooded and washed away the road on either end of the bridge. The washout was never repaired so you get to ford the creek as you stare at the abandoned bridge. There are only a few campsites along the trail which crosses sections of well-marked private property.
