As a local, I use this trail, and it is good training trail for running, the trail is better from Hwy 64 at Ruth, to the end at Gilkey Lumber Company, it is peaceful and the scenery is better there than the first mile or two at the start in Spindale which is more business, and you have to deal with crossing traffic at cross walks of the trail. more on TrailLink.com

There are some great views of the surrounding mountains and countryside, and plenty of muscadines to snack on! more on TrailLink.com
