Mountains-to-Sea Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

North Carolina's Mountains to the Sea Trail is a brilliant 1,175 mile hiking trail that stretches across from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks. As it meanders across the state's lofty tops it passes numerous beautiful places along its length.

Most of this trail is a hiking trail but stretches of it are open to cyclists on connecting roads. This is one such stretch.

Jordan Lake Crossing

Highlight • Bridge

Crossing Jordan Lake on NC 751 here gives you great views out over both arms of the lake. It is one of the quieter crossings on the lake, and there is nothing better than looking out on tranquil waters and tree-lined shore views.
