14 Jul
NC “Year of the Trail” Event at Elk Knob
- 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Located in Watauga County, 11 miles north of Boone, off Meat Camp Road, Elk Knob State Park was established in 2003 to protect the mountain and the headwaters of the North Fork of the New River. An overlook summit rewards visitors with a panoramic view of North Carolina’s high country. Backcountry campsites, located 1 to 2 miles into the covered forest with beautiful streams, offer the ultimate primitive overnight experience. In the winter, about 1 miles of ungroomed trail is open to cross country skiing and snowshoeing.
Enjoy this four-mile out-and-back trail. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of a little over two hours to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking, and running, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring.
