Trail Overview

Out-and-back trails are primarily used to access the Appalachian Trail crossing. This is a narrow 2-track that is muddy in places and has numerous short side trails. There are many nice camping spots throughout the length of the trail. Near the start, you'll have limited cell service. The trail continues to an abrupt dead end around a bend where the trail is washed off the side of the mountain.

We came in late after light rain, dark with two full sized trucks once you pass the heavy equipment it gets technical with loose wet rocks night didn’t help, if you go to the right it dead ends with a small turn around, I was able to get turned around with a 5 point turn the vehicle that was with us was able to squeeze past and he was able to turn around, not many sights to see if you take the trail ending to the right…. Fun adventure due to big piney being full

Narrow, rocky trail with no water-front camping. Expect some mild pin-striping. Very few camp spots. More of an in and back out trail. All of the good camping is on Big Piney trail.
