This is a spur of the Foothills Trail and follows the NC/SC state line from the peak of Sassafras Mountain to Caesars Head State Park. This demanding hiking path borders the Greenville watershed property and features scenic views from Sassafras Mountain and Raven Cliff Falls, as well as the East Fork of the French Broad River. This trail is strenuous, but very rewarding, and can be hiked in a day—or stretched out over two days.
