Little Stoney Creek

Trail Overview

Little Stoney Creek Road is a scenic mountain route that winds along Little Stoney Creek just outside of Hampton, Tennessee. Nestled within the Cherokee National Forest, this trail offers a peaceful ride through dense hardwood forest and classic Appalachian terrain. The road is primarily gravel with occasional ruts, washouts, and muddy sections after heavy rain. Most of the route is suitable for high-clearance 2WD vehicles, but AWD or 4WD is recommended during wet weather or winter months. Drivers can expect narrow sections with limited pull-offs, so caution is advised around blind curves. This route is ideal for anyone looking for a relaxed forest drive with light technical challenges and classic East Tennessee scenery. Always practice Tread Lightly principles to help preserve the area.
