Description

Park at either the Blue Dot Trail trailhead or at the Fish Hatchery Road Trailhead to start your hike. The trail stays close to NC 126 as it connects the two points through the gamelands. In winter, there are some good views of lake through the trees at the high point of the trail. This trail is great for hiking as it is smooth and wide.
