Weird combination, I know, but I really do like to combine these activities. Thanks for the reply! I know hunting isn't permitted inside the actual state park boundaries, so of course I'd only actually hunt outside the border of the park itself.

All trails on public property open to bikes - with the possible exception of Alexander Mountain Bike Park - are open to hikers as well. In general, mountain bikers should always formally yield to hikers. Doing so should be no more difficult than avoiding any other potential obstacle on the trail - rocks, logs, animals, holes, stream crossings, etc. And hikers in the area are usually courteous and move to let bikes pass, even though technically they don't have to yield. It seems to work pretty well! Sonya – I think the mixed use system has worked well here in WNC.
