Speaking for the trails in NC…
Tsali is an awesome experience for the scenery, camping, and access to lake. However, Tsali leaves much to be desired in terms of trail riding experience. If you are a beginner or don’t want anything too challenging Tsali is an awesome choice. If you want more difficult or exciting trails I would highly recommend DuPont and the numerous trails in the Pisgah area.
The scenery and outdoor experience can’t be beat, just the trails are really tame compared to other stuff in the area.
