Trail Overview

This route is located in the Cherokee National Forest, following the banks of Citico Creek. The road is primarily a two-lane gravel path that occasionally narrows to one lane. It is an easy drive, suitable for any 2-wheel drive vehicle. The main hazards to be aware of are flash flooding, which is signposted, and the potential for a fallen tree across the road. This scenic drive, when taken from north to south, continues to the southern section, leading up to Indian Boundary Lake or the Cherohala Skyway. Several free campsites are scattered along the route, most of which feature fire rings and gravel parking areas. Camping is allowed only in designated campsites. Additionally, the Young Branch Campground is located on the northern section of the route. It requires a small fee, is first-come, first-served, and payment must be made onsite.
