Trail Highlights: The Lumberjack Trail #106, built in 2024 (TRACKS first new trail in years), was designed to offer hikers, cyclists, and equestrians an opportunity to create a very pleasant and manageable 5.7- mile short loop by combining a stretch of the Blue Ridge Trail with the Lumberjack Trail.
The loop is enjoyable from either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, although the Lumberjack Trail is a more gradual ascent/climb. Like the Blue Ridge Trail, Lumberjack itself twists through pine, juniper, and oak forest and offers commanding views from the top to the south and east, in addition to massive old alligator junipers.
Lumberjack Trail was named in honor of the history of logging in the area, and both begins and ends on the Blue Ridge Trail.
