Clay County North Carolina Horse Trails
Fires
Creek Rim Horse Trail
|
| Located within the Nantahala
National Forest, the 25,0 mile Fires Creek Rim Trail follows a
high, elongated rim around Fires Creek. Featuring scenic views,
mixed hardwood forest with rhododendrons and wildflowers, Fires
Creek Rim Trail is sparsely blazed with blue signs
Several side trails provide
opportunities for exploration or alternate access points. Most people
begin the trail at the Fires Creek Picnic Area on the trail to Leatherwood
Falls. For a short walk, the 0.7-mile loop trail turns left and returns to
the parking lot; the Rim Trail bends right and climbs to the ridge. Water
is infrequent along the trail, so be sure to carry an adequate supply. |
