Jackson County North Carolina Hiking Trails

Little Green loop Trail

Length: 5.5  miles
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous

The Little Green loop can be broken down into segments, an easy hike to the Salt Rock overlook and the view of the valley and surrounding mountains, more difficult hikes to Schoolhouse Falls, or Granny Burrell Falls.

Start down from the parking area for a view from the Salt Rock overlook. Continue the descent on a gravel road to an intersection of three roads (approximately one mile from the parking area). Cross the old wood bridge on the right and continue along Greenland Creek.

The access trails to Schoolhouse Falls are on either side of a second wood bridge. If the first trail is taken, watch for a narrow trail on the right which goes up Little Green. The trail on top of Little Green is on the rock outcropping.

The trail turns into the woods and goes steeply down to another road. Turn right and hike through a pine forest in the valley floor.

Directions:
From Cashiers drive east 2 miles on US 64 to Cedar Creek Road on the left. Drive up Cedar Creek Road 2 miles to its intersection with Breedlove Road.
