Blood Road
A historic forest road known for high-elevation vistas.
Blood Road is a historic forest corridor famous for its high-elevation vistas and its role in the early development of the region’s oil and timber industries. Winding along the crest of the Allegheny Plateau, the road offers panoramic "peek-a-boo" views through the trees of the deep valleys below. It is a favorite route for dual-sport motorcyclists and "overlanding" enthusiasts who enjoy its rugged gravel surface and the sense of history that clings to its old-growth borders. The road provides access to several remote trailheads and is a prime location for viewing the forest’s vibrant autumn foliage.
