Moss Gap Area

Length: 3.0  miles
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous

Because much of the timber in the Moss Gap area was harvested during the late 1980's, there are a number of vistas along FS 323. Remaining forested stands are young. FS 323 has a hard packed gravel surface.

From Moss Gap cycle northwest 0.5 mile where Turkey pen Gap road Joins FS 323. Continue on FS 323 past several old roads.

At the intersection of two roads on the right and one on the left, stop and make a half mile detour on the gated road on the left for a view of Western Carolina University campus. FS 323 continues down to a turnaround near Wilson Creek. A road from the turnaround leads to a camp site on the Creek. Another road leads to a wildlife area.
