Madison County North Carolina Hiking Trails
Spring
Creek Nature Trail
|
|
Length: 1.2 miles
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous
The trail begins and ends in the Rocky Bluff
Campground. Both
termini are signed. Beginning at the trailhead near campsite #14, the
trail descends on an old road through a pine forest to Spring Creek and
follows the stream bank for about 0.5 miles. Watch for rock walls and other
traces of the past where crops and pastures have given way to trees. It
then climbs gradually back to the campground through white pines planted
by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1940's. You will pass the trail
to the amphitheater, then the Van Cliff Trailhead on your left. This trail
is for hiking only.
