Big Stamp - FS 427

Trail Overview

Big Stamp branches off of Long Branch 340C and climbs up to 4300' into the Nantahala National Forest. The first few switchbacks are pretty steep with heavy washboarding and loose gravel, causing an uneven surface. This trail is a single track with very few places to turn around or pass other vehicles. High clearance 4WD recommended, but I was able to complete in 2WD with some slippage. There is a large campsite with a fire ring at the end of the trail. The Rim Trail can be accessed from the campsite. There is little to no cell service here, so plan accordingly.
