Clay County North Carolina Hiking Trails
Leatherwood Loop Trail
|
| Located within Nantahala
National Forest, the 3.5 mile Leatherwood Loop Trail begins at the
Fire's Creek Picnic Area and travels up the ridge to the top of the falls
where it connects with Fires Creek Rim
Trail. A moderately difficult trail, Leatherwood Loop Trail travels
back down the ridge and exits the woods along the road at the parking
area.
Personal note: I have hiked this trail many times. Although a few spots
may be slick after a rain and several roots are exposed, my 2 year old had
very little problem with the hike.
