Trail Overview

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

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
