CHEROKEE TRAILS CAMPGROUND AND STABLES

For the beginner rider or someone who just likes to take a leisurely stroll, there are US Forest Service Roads all throughout. These roads provide a quiet ride through the mountain where you may see an abundance of local wildlife. Many of these roads are excellent for horse buggies and wagons, and you can ride comfortably for several miles!

This is the closest thing you'll find east of the Mississippi to a rocky mountain trail. Meandering, steep, and rocky at times, this trail climbs to an elevation of over 4500ft. At the top you'll find a spectacular view of Holston Lake, seeing all the way to Virginia, North Carolina and even Kentucky on a clear day. It is truly breathtaking.This trail is not for everyone. Please understand that when you ride these trails, you do so at your own risk.

This old logging road leads right to South Holston Lake, a nice short ride for an afternoon swim for you and your horse.

This trail is somewhat rocky and can be narrow at times. However it has no steep grades and links onto Big Creek Road and other US Forest Service Roads. A beginner to intermediate rider would enjoy this trail, and the more advanced rider can jump on the Morrell Trail from here.
