Jumping Off Rock - gravel ride on Horsepasture Road

Gravel ride on Horsepasture Road to Jumping Off Rock through a variety of properties all managed under the umbrella of the Jim Timmerman Natural Resources Area at Jocassee Gorges. This includes Franklin Gravely WMA, Laurel Fork Heritage Preserve, and possibly others. I used the parking lot at Laurel Valley Trailhead (Foothills Trail). Jumping Off Rock provides views of Lake Jocassee. I rode my Fezzari (Ari Bikes) Shafer AL gravel bike.
