  • Appalachian Trail - Max Patch
    Appalachian Trail - Max Patch Driving Directions: from Asheville take I-40 west to exit 7; go right (north) on Cold Springs Rd (dirt road). At the T junction, turn left and continuing to Max Patch parking area on the right. Overflow parking is along the road. Max Patch is visible on the right. Hiking Directions: For the Max Patch Loop, take the old road through the gate to the left of the parking lot. Due to erosion, hikers are asked not to climb or descend via the center – the most direct route to the summit. Proceed through the woods to a clearing. Continue as short way to the A.T. and turn left away from the summit. Follow the A.T. blaze through the woods and passed a small stream. There is a great place to stop and sit on logs under a large shade tree just before you turn right onto Buckeye Ridge Trail. Once on Buckeye Ridge Trail, Max Patch will be above on the right. Continue on until you come again to the A.T. where you turn right and start your climb to the summit. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the top, fly a kite or simply take in the views. Please remember to descend one of the ways you came up. If there is any threat of lightning, it would be wise not to take the A.T. to the summit. Rather, when you get to the A.T. from the Buckeye trail, follow the trail that goes to the right around the base of Max Patch.
