Karl Forth Trailblazers direct motorists onto SR 161 (old U.S 91) from the Cove Fort Rest Stop. The Chevron Station outside Cove Fort serves as one of several public-private rest areas across the state. These facilities allow motorists access to restrooms and water without having to make a purchase.
