The Trail

Read the exhibition then walk the short 0.2-mile trail. It is not steep but the anti-clockwise direction is a bit easier.

The main attraction at this stop (officially called Yankee Horse Ridge Parking Area) is the short reconstruction of a narrow gauge railroad track. In the early 1900’s the Blue Ridge was logged to the ground and a network of railroads was built.

You can walk the short 0.2-mile loop trail to view the tracks and see Wigwam Falls at the far end.
