Sullivan Hollow Road - Macon County Tour

Trail Overview

This scenic off-road trail, part of the Macon County Tour (MCT), offers an easy yet engaging drive through Tennessee's rolling backcountry. While the route follows a graded path, multiple washouts and narrow stretches without shoulders--some with steep drop-offs--add a layer of caution to the otherwise accessible terrain. It's best suited for drivers comfortable navigating uneven surfaces, especially after wet weather. The trail winds past several homes and private properties, with driveways and yards coming right up to the road in places. Keep an eye out for children playing and the occasional curious farm dog who might trot alongside your rig. Along the way, you'll pass a timeworn cemetery and an abandoned home, quiet markers of the area's history that add a subtle, haunting charm to the ride. A dense canopy of mature trees provides shade throughout much of the trail, and when fall arrives, the landscape erupts in color, transforming the route into a glowing corridor of red, orange, and gold. Whether you're kicking off your journey on the 100+ mile Macon County Tour or just out for a leisurely afternoon drive, this trail combines rural character with a touch of ruggedness to make for a memorable experience.
