Transylvania County North Carolina Bike Trails

Ivestor Gap Trail

Pisgah National Forest

Length: 3.7 miles
Rating: Moderate

The trail surface is rocky and rough for the first 2 miles. However you'll be rewarded with some outstanding views in clear weather.

Ivestor Gap Trail begins as a roadbed, which is open to 4-wheel-drive vehicles from mid-August until January 2nd. From Ivestor Gap, you may return to the parking area via the Art Loeb Trail for a beautiful, 5-mile loop. Enjoy the spectacular views from grass balds. From Ivestor Gap, the trail enters Shining Rock Wilderness and ends at Shining Rock Gap.

Mountain bikes are not allowed in wilderness, and trails are maintained to the most primitive standards. Fires are prohibited. Group size of 10 is enforced in Shining Rock Wilderness to preserve solitude and prevent resource damage.
