February 11, 2021We visited several times over the summer. Parking is limited and can get full on nice days. We were able to hike it in Crocs! The kids enjoyed playing in the creek to cool down. I’d like to go again soon while it’s winter to see the views without the leaves.
February 6, 2021Great scenery and easy to hike. Been several times. Some fun hidden adventures as well.
February 5, 2021January 28, 2021January 24, 2021January 11, 2021Not a lot of parking maybe 10 spots. Not busy on a weekend. Very beautiful trail.
January 10, 2021Beautiful natural trail. My legs will be feeling it in the morning.
December 29, 2020Loved the mix of views and water. Mildly traveled, well marked. Very pretty and serene.
December 29, 2020December 27, 2020Absolutely incredible trail. A little magical, a little enchanting, and a good little workout on the way back! Allow yourself time to explore the river around the footbridge and then again at the outcrops! Amazing views almost the entire hike. Love the moss everywhere! Extremely disappointed with AllTrails for not working properly. Will definitely be bringing my group, Heather's Adventures, here in the Spring!
November 29, 2020My wife and I hiked it. Took our time. Ate lunch and stopped to smell the roses, etc. Took about 3 hours total. Very limited parking. Incredible view from the top! Great summit to reward the effort. Took my new Zamberlan Boots out for their first hike. Got a blister. But still enjoyed them. Backpacking boots may have been overkill but they helped stabilize my ankles and support the pack I carried. Wasn’t expecting all the rocks throughout the trail path, but it was a good hike all the way around.
November 22, 2020Make sure you have extra time to explore the river & vistas!
November 18, 2020Nice short hike with water and scenic views.
November 14, 2020Check the blue marks for the trail path. There's limited parking; go early.
October 19, 2020Nice short hike with some pretty views.
October 18, 2020Great & fairly easy hike!
October 2, 2020Our expectations were low but the trail turned out to be wonderful! The fall colors and smells were enchanting and the view was quite nice.
September 26, 2020Loved it! rocky, up and down. Lovely views.
September 24, 2020Nice trail. I would suggest good shoes and sturdy ankles. Took about 90 minutes out and back.
September 11, 2020September 10, 2020We had a great time on the trail! My husband and I hiked with our little dog Sammy, and we loved the views from the rocks at Devils Nose. There is more downhill going in than on the way out so the walk back was definitely a bit more difficult, but we were surprised when we got to the car. There is a nice stopping point at the creek/bridge along the path that was perfect for us to rest for a moment.
September 5, 2020Great day on trail! All was as described by others. Appreciated that it was a fairly dry hike, no slippery rocks, despite the recent rain. Definitely recommend!
September 2, 2020Really loved this trail; it was perfect for a rainy vacation day! At the intersection of the Tuscarora Trail, we continued down the hill to the stream and spent some time wading, then returned to the trail and headed to the Devil’s Nose lookout. It was a very wet and rainy day so the rocks were slick and the view was foggy, but it still was a fabulous hike. Definitely moderate as terrain goes, but my 12- and 9-yr-old kids were fine.
August 30, 2020August 29, 2020loved it! different terrains; water; lovely views.
August 23, 2020More hilly than I was anticipating. Didn’t tell my husband to leave me to die on my mountain until the last .1 miles. Don’t recommend if you aren’t in shape, but the view at the turn around was worth it. There was a lovely, cool stream on route that provided a nice resting point.
August 5, 2020I hiked this trail with pretty low expectations as a lot of the trails in this area aren't particularly good, but this hike really surprised me. Here are my trail notes for this hike: . the trail is unusual that it goes immediately down at sometimes a moderately steep grade. . at .7 miles I advise to turn right at the Tuscarora trailhead towards Devils nose. If you continue straight it goes downhill to a dead end along a pretty but shallow creek. There is a stream crossing but that was where alltrails said to turn around. . The trail to Devil's nose is surprisingly eventful and scenic. The bridge is OK, but it looks like there is a decent swimming hole to the left of it. . All along this trail there are significant albeit brief changes in elevation. . Devils nose is quite nice, despite a little graffiti. The first overlook is quite large, and if you continue down there are other nice overlooks. . My favorite spot was on top of the large rock at the large flat granite area. By climbing it, you clear some trees and get a nice 270° view. I will probably hike this again sometime.
