Overview

Part of the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway, Bald Rock Fork is a remote and quiet road sure to pique your adventurous spirit. This road starts where Fixer Road ends along the edge of the Big Sinking Creek, which they call sinking because water disappears or sinks into limestone deposits, making the creek look dry as the water runs underground. The trail eventually turns to follow its namesake, Bald Rock Fork. With impressive creek views and crossings, the road enters the Pendergrass Murray Recreation Preserve, with world-class rock climbing and fantastic hiking opportunities.
