Trail Overview
Just North of I40 Cold Springs Creek Road is a well-maintained gravel road that will take you into the surrounding peaks. It eventually meets Max Patch Road which will take you to the famous bald that has incredible views of the Smoky Mountains. Cold Springs Creek Road is also a great way to access a number of trails and roads of varying difficulty to the west of Max Patch. Along the route you'll find several nice creek side campsites. The road is plenty wide enough for two full-sized vehicles to pass along its entirety. Cell service isn't very good in this area so plan accordingly.
