Trail Overview

The trail to Waucheesi Bald is a gravel trail. The trail has been recently re-graveled. It is a two-way road so make sure you watch for oncoming traffic. The road will take you along Bald River and at the top of Waucheesi Bald is spectacular views, where we had lunch and spent the afternoon. For those who like to camp there are primitive campsites along the river.

Status Reports

I put “obstructed” because the trail is mostly open. The very end is closed on the Tellico OHV side for maintenance. If you follow the detour signs it takes you out onto the Skyway. Be prepared though, if you were done for the day, it’s not a super short detour.

Has a detour that takes a long way around back to town. Dusty, nice scenery.

Nice road through the woods with some off shoot roads for exploring. Many parts were graveled.
