Trail Overview[edit]

This is part of the Roan Mountain State Park trail system. If you're staying at the campground, this is a good way to spend an hour or two as it begins and ends at the campground check-in station. It hikes through the woods past large boulders then returns along the Doe River.

How to get there[edit]

From the visitor's center:

  1. Continue south on TN143
  2. Past the pool and tennis courts, turn right into the campground area
  3. Park at the shelter on your left before the campground station
  4. Hike begins on the left just past the bridge on the campground road

Being a TN state park, the dirt and gravel trails are kept in good condition. Some of the trail sections are steep, thus can be slippery after a rain.

Fees, Permits, etc.[edit]

Misc. Information[edit]

Formally known was the Bearwallow Trail until renamed in honor of naturalist Fred Behrend
