This popular trail system offers about 20 miles of challenging trails that consist of steep, rocky and muddy sections, stream crossings and loose gravel. Primitive camping is available but there are also several developed campgrounds nearby including Arrowhead Campground and Badin Lake Campground. A boat ramp can found at Arrowhead campground. Note that these trails typically close down for the winter (approximately mid December through early April).
