Haywood County North Carolina Hiking Trails
Little
Cataloochee Trail
|
|
Length: 5.0 miles
Rating: Moderate
This
moderate lowland trail gains only 900 feet in over 5 miles. The trail
follows old roads with only one notable climb over the small ridge that
separates the two Cataloochees.
There are plenty of
water sources and several old home sites where only rock foundations or
chimneys remain. A restored church in Little Cataloochee has an
interesting cemetery on the ridge slope below. This church is still used
for occasional services and family reunions.

Directions:
The
trailheads are at Palmer Creek, about 1 mile from the end of the paved
section of Cataloochee Road at the Cataloochee Horse Camp, and at a signed
gate along the gravel Cataloochee-Big Creek Road.
