Horse Trails Hunt Knob Trail – 3.8 Mile Loop, Moderate to Difficult, Hiking and Equestrienne Use The 3.8-mile Hunt Knob trail is the longest trail in the park. This scenic trail follows the perimeter of Cherokee Lake 1.75-miles before ascending Hunt Knob ridge. The trail offers variety from easy, strait, gently sloping sections along the lakeshore to strenuous, hilly sections around Hunt Knob. NOTE: The Hunt Knob trail is accessible only from the horse trail parking area along a 1.6-mile connector trail. The total length of the Hunt Knob trail and the connector trail is 5.4-miles. Maple Arch Trail – 3.2 Mile Loop, Moderately Difficult, Hiking and Equestrienne Use The 3.2-mile Maple Arch trail loop is moderately difficult and features short, steep hills and one very steep ascent. This trail is named for the unique tendency of Red and Silver Maple trees to form arches as they grow over the trail corridor. Much of the trail follows the shoreline of Cherokee Lake before sharply ascending River Ridge. The Maple Arch trail is excellent for observing waterfowl and other wildlife and offers many captivating views of Cherokee Lake. NOTE: The Maple Arch trail loop is accessible only from the horse trail parking area along a 2.6-mile connector trail. The total length of the Maple Arch trail and the connector trail is 5.8-miles.
