Madison County North Carolina Hiking Trails
Pounding
Mill Trail
|
|
Length: 6.3 miles
Rating: Strenuous
From the trail's
upper terminus at Camp Creek Bald, a panoramic view of mountain peaks in
Tennessee and North Carolina can be seen.
The easiest route is to begin at Camp Creek Bald and hike to State Road
208. From the upper end, the trail crosses the Appalachian Trail. From
here the trail mostly follows an old road bed. It first passes the upper
terminus of the Hickory Fork Trail. Approximately one mile further, the
trail leaves the old road and descends through the forest where it follows
Pounding Mill Branch to the lower terminus at SR 208.

Directions:
Go north on SR 208 across the Tennessee state line. Turn at the first
paved road on the right. After a short distance the road turns to gravel,
then back to pavement, then to gravel again. Follow this road to the top
of Camp Creek Bald. Park at the end of the second paved section and walk
up the gravel road past the fire tower to the trailhead.
