Trail Overview

Jennings Creek Road travels along the border of Cherokee National Forest between the Horse Creek Recreation Area and the Old Forge NF Campground. The campground has walk-in sites with a parking lot only 10 to 25 yards from most of the sites. Pit toilets are also available at the campground. The road is gravel and wide enough for two vehicles to pass along the entire route. The road has some rocks and potholes so airing down from street pressure is advisable. There are also several hiking and mountain biking trails accessible along the road or at each terminus. Cell service is available in most of the area.

Status Reports

This is a simple, easy road. I'm in a 26ft long class C RV that's about 10 ft tall. Minor potholes and a couple of low hanging branches. The forest service street sign has this road named Old Forge Rd. An hour or so after leaving here i discovered they were closing the forest due to hurricane Helene, but that's probably only for a few days.
