Description

Where Catamount Trail takes a sharp right to the north, this trail continues straight toward the northwest. It gently and consistently climbs through pine forest to connect with Turkey Springs Trail. Either direction at Turkey Springs Trail can create a loop with consistent descents over long distances.

This is a main trail on the Turkey Springs Outer Loop. Avoiding this trail and staying on Catamount Trail will add nearly four miles to the Turkey Springs Outer Loop for those hearty souls who like mileages in multiples of ten (in this case, 20 total).

Caution - this trail crosses Newt Jack Road (FS 923) which also serves as a connector for a couple ATV trails in the area.
