There are several trailheads for the Little Canaan Wildlife Management Area (LCWMA) along the road, and at the end of the road trails lead into the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge. In addition numerous riverside campsites are strung along the road. Many provide access to the Blackwater River.
