Reviewed 2026-10-22. Fresh county profile confirms a paved 7.4-mile route, the public Colonial trailhead address and west end at Forsyth Road. Its page still carries a 417-underpass closure notice with an elapsed September 14 target; no reopening is assumed. This selected western course avoids that underpass. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
