Trail Overview

Long Hungry Branch (FS 2586) is a gravel road that skirts the edge of beautiful Lake Santeetlah in Nantahala National Forest. It features several free designated campsites along the water's edge that can accommodate 1 to 2 vehicles per site. Keep in mind that several of these are "walk-in" camps, so if you have a rooftop tent, you will be near the road. Make sure you sign in at the roadside check-in before picking a spot, and make sure you bring your fishing rods and kayaks.
