Description

A very nice gently winding trail through pines as it approaches the new stunning bridge over Lake James and connects with the Fonta Flora State Trail: Longarm Section. A few good views of the lake through the trees and a huge payoff with excellent clear views on the bridge of Lake James, South Mountains to the south, and Shortoff Mountain to the north.
