Rocky Fork is a recent public land acquisition and therefore can provide a remote wilderness experience for those interested in trail hiking or biking. Be warned though that the trails are not clearly marked, if at all, and it is currently not heavily frequented so do not count on the help of others as part of your emergency plan. | Rocky Fork is a recent public land acquisition and therefore can provide a remote wilderness experience for those interested in trail hiking or biking.
