Transylvania County North Carolina Bike Trails

Caney Bottom Loop Trail

Pisgah National Forest

Length: 4.5 miles
Rating: Moderate

Caney Bottom Loop Trail has a moderate grade with good views of streams, cascades and waterfalls. While most people enjoy this trail because of the beautiful streams, other attractions include large wildlife fields and a nice view of Looking Glass Rock.

Though all streams have log foot bridges, there are several wet areas along the trail so wear appropriate footgear. Only the west side of the trail is open to mountain bikes, so watch signs carefully. If mountain biking, you may take the Caney Bottom Connector, which joins this trail with FS Road 225. Blaze: Blue

Directions:

Park across from the gate to Cove Creek Group Campground. Cove Creek is 3 miles past the State fish hatchery on FS Road 475. Directions to the fish hatchery from the ranger station appear in the section on Butler Gap Trail. Take the road behind the gate to the group camp. The trail begins just before entering the Lower Cove Creek campsite. NOTE: Cove Creek is a fee area. The facilities are only for the groups who have rented the area. Please respect the privacy of the campers by staying on the trail which passes around both campsites.
