Trail at Crowders Mountain Delayed Yet Again
Crowders Mountain State Park officials say the seven mile trail extending from Pinnacle Trail toward the South Carolina line remains on hold. With no signage erosion controls still needed and steep sections under review, planners must resolve road crossings and grade adjustments before opening to the public. A 2,200 square foot Boulder’s Access contact station is planned along the route.
