Don't let the ease of this road deter you. While the northern half of the trail is actually paved, the southern portion is graded gravel. Along the trail you will find plenty of wildflowers. If you choose to sit or walk around Allen Branch Pond long enough, you are sure to see wildlife. There is no silence here! At the southern end, you will be treated to the French Broad River. Camping is not available on this trail, but the nearby Weavers Bend Road should satisfy.
