Length: 3.1 miles
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous
You will cross several streams and three ridges, and move from a forest
of cove hardwoods such as yellow poplar and red oak to a upland hardwood
forest of oak, black gum and red maple. Waterfalls, cascades and an old
mica mine are points of interest.
From Daniel Ridge Trail, the
Farlow Gap Trail goes left, or west. This trail starts with a moderate
climb as it contours around Fork River Ridge and Daniel Ridge. From here
to Farlow Gap, the trail becomes steep, with several switchbacks. Though
it may be tempting at times, please do not leave the main trail because
short-cutting switchbacks causes erosion.
