Laurel Run Road ORV Trail
Laurel Run Road, mapped designated-road reference, Garrett County, MD
About this trail
Laurel Run Road is the northern designated ORV road in the Wallman/Laurel Run complex of Potomac-Garrett State Forest. It runs east from the forest boundary near Rileys Spring Branch toward the parking area above the North Branch Potomac River. Maryland regulations allow two- and four-wheel vehicles on this designated section year-round, while the DNR visitor overview gives different winter dates. Confirm current seasonal restrictions with the forest before traveling. The other snowmobile loops and connecting trails have separate restrictions and are excluded. ORV registration generally applies, with an exemption for licensed vehicles registered with Maryland’s MVA. The pin is an approximate mapped road reference, not forest headquarters or a campsite. The original Jeep photograph shows a past visit, not current road conditions.
