Burnt Mountain Trail Renovation in Dupont State Forest
The Burnt Mountain trail was renovated in the last 6 months by Trail Dynamics, a local trailbuilding and repair company. The steep drop on the end of the loop was rock-armored, and muddy sections were graveled and drained.
In addition to the contract work by Trail Dyanmics, over 160 volunteer hours were contributed to the project. Thanks to everyone who helped make one of the best trails in Dupont State Forest sustainable and capable of remaining open for future hiking and mountain biking use!
To check it out, try the Eastern Slickrock Best Ride.
Some of the trails in Bent Creek near Asheville would be accessible. The Roan Mountain Gardens trail is accessible too, if you want a mountaintop loop. I also know of one trail at South Mountains State Park that would be good. I'm planning on putting together a section about accessible trails soon - hopefully sooner than later!
