There are “speed bumps” that help with water run-off and driveway erosion during storms. SUVs, trucks, and higher clearance vehicles have no issues. Low clearance sedans (as some members of our team drive) or sports cars may rub on the speed bumps, so crossing at an angle and / or near the ends should help. Even without 4WD you will be fine, put your car in Low and go slow if needed. **Nearby Places Worth Visiting and Exploring:- Blue Ridge Parkway – closest access is less than 10 miles away, the BRP is a National Parkway and All-American Road in the United States, noted for its scenic beauty.
