A remote and rugged area in the Cherokee National Forest, Upper Bald River Wilderness offers dense forests, rocky ridges, and the rushing waters of the Bald River. Ideal for backcountry hiking, you can hike across it through the Benton Mackaye Trail, which goes under tops and follows the river for a few miles. Enjoy the sense of solitude, wildlife sightings, and peaceful spots to rest by the river.
