POINT LOOKOUT TRAIL
EXH 04
The Point Lookout Trail, also designated as a segment of the Fonta Flora State Trail, is located just west of Old Fort on a paved segment of the abandoned Old US Highway 70. This trail is approximately 3.6 miles long and ascends some 900 feet to neighboring Buncombe County. The trail is popular with walkers and bicyclists due to its smooth surface and a lookout area near the top. More advanced mountain bikers ascend the trail as part of a 10 mile loop that includes the Kitsuma Trail -- one of the region’s most popular downhill single-track mountain biking trails. 24 — Discovery & Analysis
