Great local hiking trail
The 3.6-mile Laurel River Trail in Pisgah National Forest (trail #310) near Hot Springs is definitely one of the flattest hikes in our mountains - with plenty of mountain scenery along the way. It is a delight for those of us that love the sound of river rapids and lush mountain woodlands. Find many spots to access the Big Laurel Creek and even take a dip. Fishing and mountain biking is allowed too.
The many boulders along the banks make perfect picnic spots. The roundtrip of 7.2 miles is perfect for all seasons. The trail is especially scenic in early spring with wildflowers blooming along the trail and river’s edge. The trail begins at the intersection of US 25 and NC 208 - see directions below.
There’s a large roadside parking area on your left just before the intersection. The trail begins to the far left with “private property” signs, since the trail follows a unpaved road for about a mile before you enter Pisgah National Forest. The trail narrows and becomes more scenic as you stroll by the Big Laurel Creek all the way to the French Broad River. It also becomes more rocky and uneven with tree roots, but there are no steep sections.
Driving Directions:
From Asheville, it's about 31 miles. From downtown, take I-26 West / US 19 N / US 23 N / US 70 W toward Weaverville. Take exit 19A for US 25 N / US 70 W toward Marshall. Go 21.3 miles until the NC 208 intersection (US 25 / 70 turns left). Before the turn, see the large parking area on the left. For GPS, you can use the nearby Laurel River Store (on other side of the river past the parking area): 5150 US-25, Marshall.
