Description

The Estatoe Trail is a level gravel trail that connects the Brevard City Greenway to the Art Loeb trailhead and Davidson River Campground. Along the way, you'll travel through rhododendron tunnels, over boardwalks, and have lots of great views of the Davidson River. Watch for tubers floating by in the summer months!

Flora & Fauna

Rhododendrons and mountain laurels line the trail and river. There are hemlocks, pines, oaks and tulip poplars. Many wildflowers in the spring and summer.
