Murphy, NC · 2.3 Miles
Parking at Beech Creek seed orchard for horse trailers do not block gates, no amenities. Miles of usfs roads & trails leading to feed lots to ride. Most trails are out & back, highly reccomend the usfs visitor app to show where main roads & closed roads go. Hikers if you're going to the tower check the app and park at the closest closed gate. There is the stated 2.3 hike but if the first gate is closed it'll be an additional 3+ miles.
