Chestnut Ridge Trail is the highest and steepest and therefore most challenging trail of the [[Roan Mountain State Park]] trail system. Offering the most remote and secluded hike within the park. Leave the Miller homestead imagining it's 100 years ago and you're a family member headed to town for some supplies. If you want to get away and not hear cars roaring by for a while, hike this trail. It's recommended to get shuttled or car pool to Miller Homestead parking lot to avoid the very long and steep ascent to return. Hike down to Forest Road Trail and continue to either the Visitor center to the left or head right and make your way back to the cabins or campground. | Chestnut Ridge Trail is the highest and steepest and therefore most challenging trail of the [[Roan Mountain State Park]] trail system.
