Active and Adventure Expert Tips & Helpful Hints
  • Camp at the 42-site Tsali Campground for the quickest access to the trails. A bike-washing station, hot showers, and flush toilets are offered.
  • While most of the hard riding's done on the four main loops, don't miss hidden treats like the five-mile out-and-back Lemmons Branch, a gravely service road that makes for a good warm-up ride. Not just that, you'll roll through a canopy of hardwoods and evergreens before popping out into the open with views of Round Top and Fontana Lake. Pack lunch for a picnic and swim at the lake.
  • The hunting season runs from September to the end of February. Hikers, bikers, and horseback riders should wear hunter orange for safety, particularly during the deer-hunting season from mid-November to early December.
