Woody Gap to Dockery Lake via the AT and the Dockery Lake Trail

6.6 miles
Dockery Lake State Park is a beautiful camping and fishing location.  I can’t say enough positive about how beautiful and perfect this park is for camping.  The entrance road is very steep and dramatic, and really sets the stage for the beauty of the park.  We started the trip by staying the first night at the park, which is required—you can’t set up a camp and then head out on the trail.  We brought a canoe and were able...

Woody Gap to Lake Winfield Scott (One Way)

We met a friend at Lake Winfield Scott and rode in one car to the Woody Gap starting point, then at the end, used the other car to get us back to all our own vehicles. This shuttle allowed us to cover a longer section than we had time for otherwise.This is great for day-hikers with only a little experience. This track gives you 5.9 miles of the Appalachian trail, followed by...

Jarrard Gap Trail

2.5 miles
After having riden my bike past Lake Winfield Scott many times, I decided to try hiking in the area.  There are two access trails for the Appalachian Trail that depart from the lake.  My initial plan was to hike up one, across the AT, and back down the other.  I ran out of time that day and only had time to go up/dn Jarrard Gap.  It's a nice trail, and I look...

This is the Bear Hair Gap trail that starts and ends in Vogel State Park. We added a little bit to the hike by going geocaching on another trail after finishing BHG.

I went hiking with the family this weekend, and met up with some other friends.  We were looking for a nice hike, that was easy enough for a couple of 2.5 year olds, and had a waterfall at the end.  DeSoto Falls fit the bill perfectly.   We had a nice picnic lunch, then enjoyed a leasurely hike in, and the waterfall at the end was nice.  There was really only a...

It was an awesome hike. Pretty tough all around. Beautiful scenery with the changing of the leaves. Can't wait to hit it again in the spring.

I have hiked the AT from Woody to Neels Gap and it is a very pretty section with several overlooks in addition to the Blood Mountain Summit. Blood Mountain is a moderately strenuous hike and well work it. Even the ascent is work seeing with plenty of places to stop to rest. I also HIGHLY recommend Dockery Lake. There are many beautiful trails around the lake and just the drive in is breathtaking!
