4.5 miles of Glade Creek Trail and part of Kates Falls Trail must be
hiked to reach Kates Plateau Trail. Prepare for a beautiful experience as
you follow this old logging road through the woods. Explore a wetland
found just off the trail. In early July look for the state flower, Great
Rhododendron, in bloom. Access this trail from its junction with Kates
Falls Trail.
