Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Length: 8.4 miles
Rating: Moderate
This moderate low ridge trail ascends 1,800 feet in 8.5 miles. The
trail starts fairly level at Polls Gap but begins to climb steeply on
switchbacks after Maggot Spring and until Hemphill Bald. This trail starts
on the Caldwell Fork Trail.
There are several superb lookouts, most notably a view east from
Hemphill Bald. The bald was named after a pioneer family. This trail is
used extensively by horses but is generally in good condition.
