Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail Association- CRATA
Great scenic overlook and trail head. Plenty of picnic tables and parking is limited (some of those vehicles may actually be hikers). Please pack your own trash out, there are no trash cans. Keep it beautiful for the next visitors.
James M. Scott Deadening Alpine Trail
Very beautiful trail. I've been twice and still haven't seen it all. It's a pretty vertical trail so prepare for that. There are alot of good rest spots and views a good bit into the trial. Also some swimming spots. 👍

Nature’s Way Preserve Trail
Easy trail that's not too long. Plenty of seating along the way, plus shade and gazebos. A fair amount of construction going on around lake front property though and just junky areas which are strange to see as you hike across from million dollar homes. Good parking although it filled up fast on a S

Trails at Smith Mountain
The tower trail was a perfect hike for our family. You see lots of cool rock formations along the way, and awesome views from the top of the tower. We will be back to try the other trails.
