Trail Overview
How to get there
Route Description
The Laurel Fork Trail travels from Dennis Cove Road (across the small bridge from Dennis Cove Recreation Area/Campground) to Walnut Mountain Road and has a number of access points along the way. The trail mostly follows an old railroad grade. But the mainly obstacle along the trail are a number of water fords and lack of blazing as the trail continues upstream.
Typical Conditions
If anything, you will get wet on this trail. The trail conditions are generally good up until after Dennis Cove Falls except for the water fords (knee deep) and one small rocky area. Be cautious during periods of high water.
After Dennis Cove Falls, the trail is less maintained, the creek fords become more difficult, blazing becomes sparse in open-field around Frog Level, Bitter End, and Buck Mountain areas, so you will need to be mindful of the route you take.
