Middle Fork
trail_hike_comments: The trail follows an old railroad grade; you may notice some of the old ties still in the ground. It follows or crosses the Middle Fork of the North Mills River for its entire length. You will pass some wildlife fields, which are maintained by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. The lower section is a little steeper and more scenic -- passes by several sizeable cascades on Middle Fork., trail_bike_comments: Traveling beside Middle Fork (stream) and crossing it once on an old railroad grade, the upper section is moderately sloped and bumpy with one section that has many logs laid across the trail side by side for erosion control. The lower section is a little steeper, more technical, and more scenic -- passes by several sizeable cascades on Middle Fork.
