A sign at the start of the trail informs visitors that Shoe Creek is being evaluated for closure to protect headwater trout water, unique habitats, adjacent Wilderness character, the Appalachian Scenic Trail, and newly found Federally Endangered Species. The Forest Service's own maps depict the road traveling straight through and much further. However, a gate makes this a short out-and-back trail. It does cross the Appalachian Trail and has one campsite. The road is rough with ledges and basketball-sized rocks, requiring clearance and four-wheel drive.
