Trail Overview[edit]

One of the flattest and easiest trail within the Roan Mountain State Park trail system. A portion of this trail is handicap friendly including an accessible bridge from the shelter to the boardwalk through a portion of wetlands. It can also be used to connect between the park cabins and group camping or the regular campground.

How to get there[edit]

Leaving south on 143, the most direct access is at the shelter before the cabins. This access is mid-way through the trail.

Route Description[edit]

Riverside profile.png

Beginning at a park shelter, this trail begins with either crossing the river for a short hike, or walking along the river until it meets Fred Behrend Trail.

Accessible from this trail is the Fred Behrend Trail.

Typical Conditions[edit]

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.
