River Recreational area.


Numerous places of interest
can be seen from the trails on the
Pisgah district that cannot be
seen any other way. Many beau
tiful falls rumble unheard because
the public hates to leave the
roads and comfortable cars. Two
Of the finest falls in this country
are the Devils Courthouse Falls
and the Hamilton Neill Falls, yet
visitors are few and far between.
The Devils Courthouse Falls are
located above CCC camp FLA in
BalSam Grove on the Courthouse
Grad and are only quarter of a
mile from the road. The Hamilton
NELL Falls are located below the
Davidson River Trout Rearing sta
ton and trail takes off from the
Daniel Ridge road few hundred
yards above the intersection of
this road and the Davidson River
road. The Hamilton Neil trail fol
lows an old railroad grade to the
very top of the falls. Another
trail crosses below the falls.
Brevard is fortunately located
within two miles of many pictur-
esque trails. Notable among these
are the eagle Mountain trail that
begins at the intersection Of high
ways No. $50 and No. 284 and
continues for fifteen miles to
Gloucester zap on the Cathcy'S
Crek road; the Kings Mill trail TO
Cat gap and John Rock; the
Lambs Creek trail down Shut-ln
or Horse Cove, and many others
that afford network Of enjoy
able trails in this vicinity.
Ranger John w. Squires real
ICES that Il great deal Of the coun-
try covered by the Pisgah trails is
new to visiting nature mixers and
would be glad to give information
on these trails to anyone who will
stop at the rangers office at Pts.

.PISCAH FOREST
FOOT TRAILS.
Are NUMEROUS
Construction Has Priority
and Public Invited to
Ask Information
(By Pisgah Ranger Service)

GlSGA6 fORES July To-
Construction and maintenance
work on foot trails on the Pisgah
ranger district is receiving high
priority. as announced by Ranger
John w. Squires.
The trail that receives the most
use on the district and probably
in Western North Carolina is the
Pisgah Mountain trail from the
parking area on the Pisgah motor
road to the top of Mount Pisgah.
This trail is u mile and a half in
length and rises to an elevation of
5749 feet above sea level. The
forest service is recOnstructing'
this trail by building waterbreaks
and stone steps. A vista will be
cleared on the top of the noun
tain and mixers should be able to
see into ASheville, fifteen miles
distance. The Mount Pisgah trail
is accessible from the PiSgah mo-
tor road from Gambler and Ashe-
Vile and connects up to the state
highway from Brevard and Way
neSville at Wagon Road gap.
The second trail in popularity
is the Lookingglass trail from Da-
wilson River to the top Of Look
ingglass Rock. This trail is two
miles in length and has been re-
Gently reconstructed by the Forest
service.
llikcrS who like to get out in
the rough will enjoy the trail
along the Pisgah ledge from Wag-
on Road gap to Tennessee Bald,
this is a twelve mile hike. Two
fine springs are located at TenncS-
see Bald and Cold Springs. Hik-
crs should either plan on having
someone meet them with Il car at
Wagon Road gap or at Pinhook
gap. This trail passes above Big
Yellowstone and Little Yellow
stone Falls on the Pigeon river.
1t also follows the route of the
new survey of the ark-to-Park
highway. Anyone taking this trip
should secure a berry permit from
the Pisgah ranger station as this
is BURBERRY time.
The South Mills trail has been
maintained from the Turkey Pen
Guard station to the CantrelI
Greek lodge by Warden Huffman
and crew Of local men. This
, trail is in excellent condition and
{ is ideal for horseback travel. Per,
mission can be secured at the Su,
prrviSor'S office i'm AShevillc t.
camp at the Cantrell Greek lodge
I over night. This same lodge is
; used as Il checking station during
the South Mills wilderness hunts.
From the Cantrcll Creek lodge i
! trail is to be constructed by War.
. den liuffman'S crew to Squirrel
gap up Cantrcll creek. This trail
will enable travellers to walk To the
! Thompson Creek trail and from
there to the Pisgah ledge. Tn,
main trail up South Mills river
passes Wolf Ford and High Falls
and Joins the Thompson Creek
trail 1T the iva water gauge.
! This trip through the heart 81 the
game preserve is well worth tax
ing, as wildlife in abundance can
be seen.
Old Vanderbilt trails Of inter,
est are the Shut-in trail, from the
Elk pasture on the PiSgah motor
road, through Big creek passing
the Fcrrin Knob tower to high
way No. l9l ut Bent creek, a dis
lance Of ii miles. and carefully
