Copyright © 2020 by Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. All rights reserved. mountainstoseatrail.org | SEGMENT 8 (revised 12-14-2020) 2 Distance: 64.3 miles (19.6 on trail, 2.2 on paved greenway, and 42.5 on roads) Difficulty: Moderate on trail; easy to moderate on greenways and roads. The road and greenway stretches are ideal for traveling by bicycle; on the trails, the Owls Roost Trail is highly technical mountain biking, but cycling is prohibited on all other trails in this segment. TRAIL UPDATES: When planning your trip, confirm you have the most recent version of this ! guide, and ALWAYS take time to check the posted updates about the trail route by visiting MountainstoSeaTrail.org/updates. Introduction This 64-mile MST segment allows hikers to explore the peaceful countryside and small towns of Piedmont North Carolina just north of Winston-Salem and Greensboro. The western half of the segment roughly parallels the Dan River– from Hanging Rock State Park through the towns of Danbury and Walnut Cove to Belews Lake, built by Duke Energy on a tributary of the Dan. The eastern half falls within the watershed of the Haw River, and the route runs through the towns of Oak Ridge and Summerfield and then onto trails along the shores of Lake Brandt and Lake Townsend, built to provide water to the city of Greensboro. The western end of the route is at the visitor center of Hanging Rock State Park. For westbound hikers, this park will be the first taste of the mountains, and the 1.7-mile trail leading to the visitor center rises 1,000 feet past waterfalls and mountain plants like rhododendron, mountain laurel, and galax. Just to the east of the park, hikers will visit Danbury, the county seat of Stokes County. The tiny town of beautiful historic buildings sits on the Dan River. In the town’s Moratock Park, visitors can see the remains of a massive stone iron furnace built in the Civil War. From the town of Walnut Cove east to Greensboro, much of this segment traces the historic route of the Atlantic & Yadkin Railroad, which ran from Mt. Airy to Sanford. You can still see traces of the old railroad bed in Walnut Cove, and mountainstoseatrail.org | SEGMENT 8 (revised 12-14-2020) 3 you will cross a bridge over the old railroad bed on Oak Ridge Road in Summerfield. The route through Oak Ridge will take you past the Oak Ridge Military Academy, founded in 1850. The town of Summerfield is working to turn its portion of the old railroad bed into a rail-trail which will become the route of the MST when complete. As you pass through Summerfield, look for monuments to James Gillis, a 14-year-old bugle boy who was killed in a skirmish during the Revolutionary War, and to Charles Bruce, a local Patriot. The eastern third of the segment starts on Greensboro’s Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway and uses it twice to cross over Lake Brandt. From there the MST follows trails in the Greensboro Watershed Lakes complex, passing through classic second- growth Piedmont oak-hickory-beech forest still showing signs of its previous agricultural use. Nearly all of this portion of the MST is on the shores of the watershed reservoirs, and there are many beautiful vistas over the lakes. The road portions of this segment are great to explore by bicycle as well as on foot. Highlights Include: The cool getaway from Piedmont heat found in Hanging Rock State Park Tiny and quaint downtown Danbury and the Moratock Furnace Priddy’s General Store, two miles east of Danbury, in operation since 1888 The railroad towns of Walnut Cove and Summerfield The campus of Oak Ridge Military Academy Revolutionary War monuments in Summerfield The Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway in Greensboro and its long bridge over Lake Brandt Miles of peaceful, natural-surface trail along Lake Brandt and Lake Townsend in Greensboro mountainstoseatrail.org | SEGMENT 8 (revised 12-14-2020) 4 Maps Map and elevation profile produced for Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail by Curtis Belyea, 2020. Additional Map Resources A detailed interactive map of the entire MST is available at MountainstoSeaTrail.org/map. It is an excellent resource for planning trips on the MST, but should not be relied upon for route finding on the trail. Hanging Rock State Park: www.ncparks.gov/hanging-rock-state-park Greensboro Watershed Trails Guide: www.greensboro-nc.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=3194 mountainstoseatrail.org | SEGMENT 8 (revised 12-14-2020) 5 Primary Trailheads The primary trailheads in this guide help break the segment into more manageable chunks and are noted in bold type in the directions. They do not necessarily include all points where the trail can be accessed or every place where parking is available. Our goal is for primary trailheads to be spaced so that a reasonably fit hiker can hike between them in a day, but this is not always possible. Roadside parking is often available on road sections, but the locations are somewhat arbitrary and therefore may not be identified as trailheads. Coordinates are for the trailhead’s parking location, which is generally near but may not be directly on the trail route. If the trail is not obvious from the parking location, instructions for reaching the trail are included in the hiking directions. If you plan to park overnight or longer, please let the landowner or manager know. If you do not notify ! anyone, land managers may launch a search to determine that you are not in danger or tow your car.

We greatly appreciate our Trail Angels’ willingness to give back to the hiking community and the MST. For information about Trail Angels in Segment 8 and the services they can provide, see MountainstoSeaTrail.org/the-trail/trail-angels. Our website also lists all commercial shuttle services we are aware of that serve MST hikers. The list is available at MountainstoSeaTrail.org/the-trail/shuttle-services. Signs & Blazing The trail portions of the MST in Segment 8 are generally well marked with the MST blaze—a 3-inch white circle. There are no blazes or other markings on the road portions of this segment. The section of trail within Hanging Rock State Park, also called Indian Creek Trail, is also marked with orange squares. Most blazes in the park have a small number embossed on them. The numbers do not indicate distance; however, the park refers to them as “mile markers”. If you have an emergency and call for help, report the shape, color and number of the nearest “mile marker” so help may locate you more quickly. The park has recorded the location of each one. Water & Restrooms Although surface water is plentiful throughout the trail portions of this segment, we strongly advise using water from drinking-water fountains and spigots or bottled water from convenience stores in this area. All surface water should be treated before drinking. Water and restrooms can be found at several locations throughout the road portions of the trail.

  • TAKE JOY in the OPEN TRAIL 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Members and MST Enthusiasts
    Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail TAKE JOY IN THE OPEN TRAIL 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Members and MST Enthusiasts: Little did we know in 2019 what 2020 would bring. A pandemic erupted. By March events were cancelled, and the Governor had issued an order that required people to socially distance. At that time of fear and uncertainty, people looked to nature for solace, and the MST was there to help. The MST is there because of the steady commitment of thousands of people over many years – people who give, volunteer and advocate. And 2019 was no exception. It was an extraordinary year of progress – and joy – on the MST. The MST extends 1,175 miles across North Carolina from Clingmans Dome in the Smokies to Jockey’s Ridge on the Outer Banks. It now includes more than 720 miles of footpath, and about 455 miles of connector roads linking trail segments. Each year, Friends of the MST and its partners press toward the goal of a continuous linear park of natural wonders spanning North Carolina. In 2019, Friends of MST members came together to learn about and celebrate the trail in March and again in September, and our trail crews worked hard and fast to reopen trail damaged by the fierce hurricanes of 2018. Miles of new trail opened – extending the longest continuous off-road section to 361 miles and adding the first trail in parts of the state where none had been built before. Thanks to a generous grant from the Duke Energy Foundation, Friends was able to hire a landscape architect to focus full-time on building new trail in the Coastal Plain.
