This trail is located on private property. For access, one needs to be a member of High Hampton Club, a guest of a member, or a guest at the historic High Hampton Inn which is located on the property.

Description

A leisurely hike with several water crossings and connection points, this trail is an excellent gateway to The Saddle. Head east from the resort to pick up the trail just beyond Hampton Lake, or connect to the trail mid-mountain as a casual route back toward the Inn.

The Saddle Trail is made up of two parts: the Upper Saddle Trail and Lower Saddle Trail, which are split by Ramble Ridge Road.
