Recommended starting point for the Price Lake loop trail is at the dam, crossing it and proceeding clockwise around the lake.  The Boone Fork loop trail is accessed from the picnic area with recommendation that it is easier to follow clockwise.  The Tanawha Trail along Grandfather Mountain passes under the Linn Cove Viaduct - and is part of Section 13 on the [[Mountains-to-Sea Trail]].  Parking for Green Knob loop trail is at MM296 and 295.5.
