Nantahala National Forest
Length: 5.8 miles
Rating: Strenuous
Located near the town of Murphy, North Carolina in
Cherokee County the
Upper Tellico area is a high-elevation basin formed by the Unicoi Mountains.
The ORV trails are a network of old logging roads and skid trails that range
from "easy" to "most difficult".
It is one of only a few areas in the National Forest in North Carolina where
off-road vehicles may be used. The trails are open to all uses-trail bikes,
all-terrain vehicles, and four-wheel drive vehicles-except one trail that's
open to ATV use only. Some badly-eroded routes have been closed to allow the
land to heal and to protect water quality.
