WCU Hiking & Mountain Biking Trailhead

This trail network on Western Carolina University's campus offers well-maintained, technical single-track paths that appeal to both hikers and mountain bikers. Visitors consistently praise the groomed trails with switchbacks that wind through wooded terrain, though you won't find waterfalls or panoramic views here. Mountain bikers especially appreciate the challenging climbs and flowy sections that can feel like a pump track, while hikers find it suitable for everything from quick conference breaks to longer outings.
