For the beginner rider or someone who just likes to take a
leisurely stroll, there are US Forest Service Roads all throughout
this region. While you may encounter a car here and there,
these roads provide a quiet ride through the mountain where
you may see an abundance of local wildlife.

Many of these roads are excellent for horse buggies and wagons,
and you can ride comfortably for several miles!

This old logging road leads right to South Holston Lake, a nice
short ride for an afternoon swim for you and your horse.

US Forest Service Roads

Morrell Trail

This is the closest thing you'll find east of the Mississippi to a
rocky mountain trail. Meandering, steep, and rocky at times,
this trail climbs to an elevation of over 5000ft. At the top you'll
find a spectacular view

of Holston Lake, seeing
all the way to Virginia,
North Carolina and even
Kentucky on a clear day.
It is truly breathtaking.

This trail is not for everyone. Please understand that
when you ride these trails, you do so at your own risk.

(one of the many views from the top!)

Laurel Fork

Flatwoods Trail

901 Morrell Creek
LaneBluff City, TN 37618
(423) 391-0118

This trail is somewhat rocky and can be narrow at times.
However it has no steep grades and links onto Big Creek Road
and other US Forest Service Roads. A beginner to
intermediate rider would enjoy this trail, and the more
advanced rider can jump on the Morrell Trail from here.

Unmarked/Miscellaneous Trails

Some of the best riding in this area is on all the unmarked
trails, of which there are many! Trails can take you
everywhere from here... to Taylor's Ridge, to the top of
Holston Mountain, and down to the lake at the bottom. You

Other Popular Trails include Rye Patch Trail, Dug Road Trail,
Low Gap Trail

can even ride your
horse all the way to
Blue Hole. There are
large loops which can

take days to traverse, and short loops you can do in an
hour.
