Hike, Horseback, and Mountain Bike

Nice, challenging singletrack. Not overly technical, with some nice climbs and nice flowing sections, and a nice view of the French Broad river. However, this trail does get overgrown sometimes from lack of use. Courtesy of Singletracks.com

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
