Trail Overview

South Toe River is a basic, but scenic trail located near Mount Mitchell in North Carolina. The trail begins at the Blue Ridge Parkway on its south end and terminates at the Toe River Trail at its north end. The quaint forest service road meanders along the south toe river and past a handful of small waterfalls. There are also several small dispersed campsites along it, some of which are on the banks of the river. Cell service is virtually non-existent in this area.
