Description
This is an easy out and back trail that follows the South Fork Mills River with several swinging bridge crossings that leads to the site of the old Cantrell Lodge. From the trail head, the left side trail down to the river is steep and technical.

Review: Along with Pink Beds, one of the easier trails I have ridden in Pisgah. It follows the river and feeder creeks along it's majority except for a short section that allows it to link up with the northern end of the Buckhorn Gap trail. Get used to getting your feet wet as this one crosses water a LOT. Some of the crossings are suspension bridges while others are simply shallow fords. There is a pretty nice camp site not far from the western intersection of the South Mills River and Squirrel Gap trails that would be a great spot to stop on an overnight bikepacking trip. The total length is 12 miles from the western end at FS 476 to the eastern end which is very close to the Turkeypen trailhead and parking area. Keep an eye out for hikers and horses since this is a multiuse trail.
