Take the 40 Hike Challenge – Hike all 40 hikes in our new guide, Great Day Hikes on North Carolina’s Mountains-To-Sea Trail. The 40 featured hikes highlight many of the most special spots on the 1175-mile MST as it crosses through small towns, national and state parks, quiet backroads, and historic sites. GREAT DAY HIKE #03: THE BALSAMS: WATERROCK KNOB TO FORK Hike 3 is from Waterrock Knob to Fork Ridge Overlook on Blue Ridge Parkway land – 2.5 miles one-way. No one is sharing cars right now. So the minimum hike length would be 5 miles – still not a day hike. When Daisy and I asked our Covid hiking friends to come along on an MST hike #3, we needed to lengthen the hike. FALLS LAKE DAY HIKE A Section 1 of the Falls Lake portion of the MST is at the epicenter of an emerging playground. From the southeastern trailhead parking lot at Falls Lake dam’s Tailrace Fishing Area, you’ll have access to the Neuse River Trail, a 28-mile greenway that will extends to the Johnston County line (where another 5 miles of existing greenway takesyou into Clayton).

THE MOUNTAINS-TO-SEA TRAIL IS NORTH CAROLINA’S STATE HIKING TRAIL. IT STRETCHES 1175 MILES FROM THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS TO THE OUTER BANKS, STOPPING AT MANY OF OUR STATE’S MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ALONGTHE WAY.
WHAT IS THE MST? The Mountains-to-Sea Trail is as diverse as North Carolina. Along the trail, you may see mountain vistas, rolling Piedmont farms, picture postcard colonial towns, weathered tobacco barns, old textile villages, country churches, rushing mountain streams, coastal swamps, hardwood and pine forests, lighthouses, sand dunes, miles of seashore, and friendly people. 680 miles of the route are on trail, and connecting backroads and an optional paddle route allow hikers to trek across the state. WHAT CAN THE MST MEAN TO YOU? It may mean a short walk with your family near your home. It may mean a weekend backpacking trip with friends. Or it may mean a challenging, inspiring trek of 1175 miles across North Carolina. However you experience the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, the beauty of North Carolina will fill you with wonder and joy. FRIENDS OF THE MOUNTAINS-TO-SEA TRAIL is the growing community of members and volunteers who support the trail, an official unit of the North Carolina State Park System. We work statewide building and maintaining trail, encouraging communities to create new sections of trail, and helping people hike it. You can get involved and helpsupport the trail.
