Broad Run Road Trail

Broad Run Road is in between Craig County and Botetourt County, Virginia, and is a back road that follows along Craig Creek.

Depending on the time of year, the creek can be very shallow or very deep, requiring 4-wheel drive and a decent lift on your vehicle or good fording capability.

There are a couple of sections where you can go off the gravel road onto areas to test out your rig capability, one being near the power lines that cross over the road and the other off the wildfire road called the playground.

If there hasn’t been much rain for more than a week or two, most stock SUV’s and Trucks can go through it without issue (assuming you have a body on frame and 4WD), but if it’s been a wet season, there will be lots of water and one section of the road can see as much as 36″ of water when crossing, so be careful, especially those with lots of electrical systems.

This is a great trail to test out a new rig or for those who have never been off-roading before and I highly recommend it.

Otherwise, this road is pretty normal with a few divots and other crossings along the way, plan on taking 1.5 hours to do the trail.

I’d rate this as a 4/10 only because of the water crossings.
