Mountain Biking Pilot Cove Trail

*****   Add a review
#161 of 552 mountain bike trails in North Carolina
#3,513 in the world

This short 1.7-mile trail has some steep, very tight singletrack and some very tight turns... but it is well-worth riding because it houses one of the best views in Pisgah National Forest! Definitely worth riding just for the amazing view!

    The terrain is steep in some areas. Rocks,roots and downed trees ended up throwing me over the handlebars today....but it was a blast
