This trail offers riders the peaceful presence of a mountain river in addition to several old historic foundations and chimneys to view.
Oconaluftee River Trail
This trail travels for 1.5 miles each way from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center to the outskirts of the City of Cherokee, NC. The Oconaluftee River Trail rolls over some small hills and winds through forests and along parts of the Ocunaluftee River.
Diane Cutler co-owner of Bryson City Bikes adds, “The Oconaluftee River Trail is great for beginners! It’s a flat-(one of very few flat trails in western NC), packed dirt, multi-use trail along the Oconaluftee River, and it’s just 3 miles out and back.”
Deep Creek Trail
Considered one of the most beautiful rides in the area, and family friendly, Deep Creek Trail follows along crystal clear Deep Creek. Out and back, the trail is 4.5 miles.
Diane Cutler co-owner of Bryson City Bikes explains, “I call this a family friendly trail, not necessarily an EASY trail. There are two short but steep hills on the outbound leg. If you’re not a hill climber or have small children, simply get off and push up the hills, the rest of the trail is well worth it!”
Indian Creek Trail
This trail located outside the Bryson City, NC part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park rolls along the beautiful and tumbling falls of Deep Creek. Mountain Bikers are permitted to stay on Deep Creek and Indian Creek Trails until the roadbeds end and the trail treads begin.
Diane Cutler co-owner of Bryson City Bikes describes, “If you’re looking for a few more miles to tack on to your Deep Creek ride and a little more of a workout, give Indian Creek a whirl. Less traveled than the Deep Creek Trail, this trail is tranquil and follows Indian Creek the entire two and a half miles up. And up is the operative word here; the trail is nearly all uphill, some gradual, some moderate, some a little steeper. But the workout is worth it because when you turn around, the return trip is all downhill.”
Greenbriar
This scenic road/trail begins at Greenbriar, 6 miles East of Gatlinburg, near the Town of Pittman Center. Mountain Bikers can park at the Rangers Station just after turning onto Greenbriar Road and follow this road up 1 mile until it turns into gravel. From there the gravel road winds up the mountain along the scenic Porters Creek and through dense forest for an additional 5 miles to the Porters Creek and Ramsey Cascades trail head. Mountain Biking is not permitted on these trails.
Tsali Recreation Area Trail System
Consistently rated one of the top mountain biking destinations in the entire Eastern United States, Tsali is a mountain biker’s dream. Thousands of visitors flock to this recreation area each year, located in Swain County North Carolina, to experience the 42 mile network of multi-use trails.
As Kent Cranford owner of Motion Makers bike store in Sylva and Asheville, North Carolina describes, “Tsali is the granddaddy of singletrack trails in the Southeast. Flowing along the shores of Lake Fontana looking across to the Great Smoky Mountains Park is an amazing ride.”
Tsali’s name comes from the Cherokee Indian Martyr who sacrificed his life so that his Cherokee people could stay in the Great Smoky Mountain Region after the US Government had ordered the removal of Cherokee Indians in 1838. Tsali along with several family members agreed to be executed in exchange for about 1,000 Cherokee remaining, who had hidden out in the mountains during the removal, to return to their native homes. Pronounced (SAH-lee) this legacy of courageous devotion and spirit to the land can be felt in the deep woods and scenic vistas that abound in this recreation area today.
The four-loop system, consists of mountain bike options from 4-12 miles, and offers a variety of landscapes and trail types from single track to old logging roads. In addition, there are several connector trails, gravel roads, and extension trails that give more options for rides on top of the main loop trails.
Tsali is known for its hard packed, single track trails that are well designed and maintained.
Tsali has a parking area, restrooms, campgrounds and picnic tables. In addition to mountain biking visitors can enjoy activities such as fishing and boating on Fontana Lake, horseback riding, and hiking.
As Diane Cutler co-owner of Bryson City Bikes explains, “Tsali never disappoints. With 42 miles of single track and four individual loops it is an intermediate, flowing, cross-country style trail system; you can see why Tsali is consistently rated one of the top ten mountain biking destination in the country.”
Trails not to miss:
Thompson Loop Trail
Ranked moderate, this 7.3 mile trail single track takes riders through rugged wilderness, over stream crossings, and down old logging roads.
Mouse Branch Loop Trail
This 8.7 mile loop trail is also ranked moderate. It leads mountain bikers down old logging roads and along single track. Wildlife viewing is also possible on this trail with a chance to see wild turkey, deer and grouse in wildlife openings, in addition to old home sites.
DuPont Forest
Located in Western North Carolina between Brevard and Hendersonville, DuPont State Recreational Forest is an outdoor adventure lover’s dream playground. This 10,400 acre state forest features over 100 miles of unique trails. As Kent Cranford owner of Motion Makers Cycling in Sylvia describes, “DuPont has the most density of trails and beauty per mile because of the waterfall terrain. You can have your mind blown out there over and over again.”
DuPont Forest offers both single track and easy forest road trails. Many of their trails are more traditional trails for the region that hug mountainous terrain through dense forest. However, these trails have the added bonus of featuring spectacular waterfalls trails as riders wind along the Little Pigeon River and its tributaries.
In addition DuPont Forest features the famous “slick rock!” This trail is similar in terrain to mountain biking trails found in Utah. Bikers ride over large granite domes interspersed with scrubby pine trees.
Trails in DuPont State Recreational Forest are multi-use (hiking, equestrian, biking), but good signage will guide mountain bikers on how to yield to others.
Trails not to miss:
DuPont Ridge Loop

Riders will climb the Jim Branch Trail through dense forests and go over the Isaac Heath Trail before coming to Buck Branch Road where they will take a left.

Airstrip Trail
One of the best known mounting biking trails in DuPont, this short single track trail, only .9 miles, is a favorite for many reasons.

For more information visit: http://www.mtbproject.com/trail/577083/airstrip-trail
Pisgah National Forest
Pisgah National Forest is a wonder unto itself. Covering over 500,000 acres of dense mountainous terrain in Western North Carolina, this national forest contains breathtaking waterfalls, hardwood forests, steep ridgelines, whitewater rivers, and numerous trails. Pisgah National Forest is also known as the Cradle of Forestry-an American historic site, as it hosted the first school of forestry in the country.
Famous among mountain bikers in the Southeast, Pisgah National Forest is a mountain biker’s paradise. With over 245 miles of trails this national forest offers a huge network of trails and gravel roads running all throughout this rugged wilderness.
Pisgah National Forest is divided up into three distinct districts: the Appalachian, Grandfather, and Pisgah districts. Though all three districts have some mountain biking trails and gravel roads open to cyclists, the majority of the mountain biking trails are found in the Pisgah Ranger District with trailheads at Bent Creek, Mills River, and Davidson River.
Trails not to miss:
Black Mountain Trail
This 9.8 mile trail is rated difficult, and rightly so as it covers an elevation change of 1,900 feet. The first part of the trail is relatively easy, but this changes quickly as riders ascend 800 feet up and over Little Hickory Knob. From there the trail eases up a bit and drops down to Pressley Gap then onto Black Mountain and Clawhammer mountain (which has an especially nice view).The trail continues on to climb Soapstone Ridge and ends at Club Gab. As Scott Smith owner of Tennessee Valley Bikes notes, “[Black Mountain trail is …] tough and awesome with two summits, Clawhammer Mountain and Black Mountain and there are great views from each. This is one of my favorite trails of all time!” For more information visit:http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/nfsnc/recreation/bicycling/recarea/?recid=48322&actid=24
Squirrel Gap
Rated moderate, this trail starts from the Bradley Creek Trail and scoots past the old Mullinax homeplace where there is a grassy opening and the remains of the house foundation. This trail continues as a side slope trail and winds around several gaps-Mullinax Gap, Laurel Gap, Horse Cove Gap and Squirrel Gap-then finally descends to Wolf Ford where it intersects with the South Mills River Trail. As Scott Smith describes, “[This as one of his other favorite trails in Pisgah…] Squirrel Gap cuts around the sides of Funnel Top Mountain and Rich Mountain and while very close to Black Mountain Trail it’s totally different. Squirrel Gap is narrow, rooty and rocky East Coast single track at its best. Sometimes the trail seems to be only inches wide. To quote a good friend of mine after riding Squirrel, ‘Tonight, you’ll dream of roots.'” For more information visit:http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/nfsnc/recreation/bicycling/recarea/?recid=48350&actid=24
Big South Fork
Covering over 125,000 acres of the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, Big South Fork Recreation area protects free-flowing Big South Fork of the Cumberland River and its tributaries. Known for its scenic gorges and sandstone bluffs, this national recreation area is filled with numerous natural and historic features, and is a popular play area for many outdoor recreation activities.
Skinny singletrack, doable hills, spectacular views, and known for being less populated than other mountain biking destinations, have made mountain biking increasingly more popular in Big South Fork. In addition, Big South Fork Mountain Bike Club has built and maintained more trails in this recreation area attracting more mountain bikers.
Big South Fork contains bike only trails, but mountain bikes are allowed on highway edges, backcountry roads and some horse trails. Thus, this recreation area provides many different options for mountain bikers of all levels. As Scott Smith adds, “[Big South Fork is a…] another great place for beginners looking for more of a backcountry experience, the Big South Fork trails has good mileage and beautiful views.”

Grand Gap Loop and John Muir Loop
Great trails, the Grand Gap Loop and John Muir Loop, are excellent trails for beginner or intermediate riders, as they are both mostly flat and smooth single track. These trails can be combined and made into a longer ride. As Scott Smith describes this trail, “The Grand Gap to John Muir Loop is about eighteen miles of contour trail without any huge climbs. These trails also hold up really well when the weather is poor. Grand Gap is a contour trail that follows the rim of the Big South Fork River Gorge. It has spectacular views and nice trails that are good to ride in any weather.” For more information visit: http://www.bigsouthforkbike.org/BikeTrails.html

Most of the new trails cut don’t have extreme grades and are pretty wide. This is fun for both beginners and more advanced riders and the trails build rider confidence and speed… the system goes through six different properties and each one has its own unique feel and terrain. From the narrow, hand cut trails of Hastie to park to the unique man made topography of Meads Quarry each local has something different.” For more information visit:http://www.outdoorknoxville.com/urban-wilderness

We take care of the rest; no need to load bikes on a car, travel to another destination, and navigate an unfamiliar trail system. At CLIMB Works, you get on a bike and ride carefree.”
Since Gatlinburg, Tennessee features no other official mountain bike trails, CLIMB Works sought to change this. As Andrew describes, “CLIMB Works was poised to be a mountain bike destination; there are no other trails in the Gatlinburg vicinity, our land is ideally suited for trail and our internal resources and abilities would translate well to trail construction. And it’s come to fruition; anyone of any ability with or without a bike can simply come and ride.”

Andrew explains the vision and design behind this trail, “When we were at the drawing board, we set out in the typical CLIMB Works fashion: to create the very best trail we could, something at the forefront of the industry. We started by hiring a world renowned mountain bike trail builder to help us with the design and contraction of the trail. Therein lies the difference between the common trail and ours: it is a trail specific for mountain biking. This means there is a “flow” and creates a unique sensation that’s rare to experience mountain biking. What does all this mean? You will have so much fun on our trail!”
