Status Reports

Took it from east to west, ending at Coffeytown Rd. Lots of camping sites filled with fall foliage and everyone waved as we went by. It’s in great shape. Nice trail with overlooks if you follow the AT at Salt Log Gap toward Hog Camp and Mount Pleasant. There’s a small parking area at the intersection of Wiggins Springs Rd

Ahhhhhhhhhh Hhhhhhhhhhhh

Very easy trail for any vehicle to do. This trail is also very scenic. There are several spacious camping spots along the river!

A very scenic, easy trail with a lot of great water-front camping. A lot of large camp spots for large groups of people. Also great for a day trip.
