Transylvania County North Carolina Hiking Trails

North Slope Trail

Pets must be restrained or on a leash at all times while in developed recreation areas.

Pisgah National Forest

Length: 4.5 miles
Rating: Moderate

About 0.25 mile after leaving the campground area, the North Slope Trail turns to the left and climbs steadily uphill to the crest of North Slope Ridge. In early June travelers will see a beautiful display of mountain laurel along this section. Here the trail again turns left, but if you continue straight ahead on the North Slope Connector, blazed yellow, you will climb steeply to the Art Loeb Trail

From this point the North Slope Trail descends gradually on an old road before ending at the campground amphitheater parking lot. Turn right onto the campground road and go 0.25 mile back to the Art Loeb Trailhead. This trail is open seasonally to mountain bikes from October 15 through April.

Directions:

Turn onto the road to Davidson River campground, 0.25 miles south of the Pisgah Ranger Station on U.S. Highway 276. Park in the Art Loeb Trailhead parking lot. Cross the Davidson River bridge and follow the Exercise Trail, which overlaps the North Slope as far as the English Chapel. Mountain bikes must access the trail from the Riverside Loop in the campground, where it leaves from beside a restroom.
