Trail Overview
This is part of the Roan Mountain State Park trail system and along with Ridge Top constitutes the Mountain Bike Trails of Roan Mountain State Park
How to get there
From the Visitor's Center:
- Take TN143 South into the park
- Past the picnic area with the bathrooms with the 'π' windows, immediately before the Doe River bridge park at the lot on your right, if you pass the cabin entrance on your left, you have gone too far.
Route Description
Hike begins just past the parking lot heading into the woods. Note that on my trip I could not find the "official" Blue 2 route as I couldn't find the loop connector. The "clear" trail was to hike out on Ridge Top and return on Blue 2.
Typical Conditions
The trails are fairly well maintained and blazed fairly clearly with the exception of the Ridge Top connector. As I now recall, it may have been blazed blue as well.
Misc. Information
A foundation was found along the trail along with the occasional fence post. No information about the history of this structure is known, but other than the Miller Homestead, the only signs of past lives within the park that I have found.
Maps
Blue 2 shown in its blaze color light blue (similar to waterways on map). Ridge Top is shown in yellow for reference. Connector for loop is approximated as I did not see it on my hike and did the larger loop of Ridge Top.
