Macon County North Carolina Hiking Trails

Clear Creek Loop Trail

Length: 8.8  miles
Rating:
Moderate

This loop is suitable for hybrid and city bikes because one-quarter of the route is on a paved road, while the remainder is on hard packed gravel. Attractions include Wilson Lake, camp and picnic areas, and two small waterfalls visible from the road.

Be cautioned about cars and dogs in the residential areas of Clear Creek community. The loop starts down Clear Creek Road, and includes Blue Valley Road (FS 79) and a return on FS 367. An optional detour may be made for Wilson Lake on FS 301. All turns are to the right. There will be one short climb where the grade is ten percent. For the most part the average grade is 4 to 5 percent.

Directions:

From intersection of US 64 and NC 28 in Highlands, drive south on NC 28 2.1 miles to Clear Creek Road. Turn right onto Clear Creek Road and continue 1.3 miles to FS 367 which is on right after a sharp hairpin turn. There are 4 to 6 parking spaces on the shoulder of FS 367.
Head: Intersection of Clear Creek Road (SR 1613) and FS 367, Little Yellow Mtn. Rd.
