Mountain to Sea Trail
2022 Aug 25
The MTS is very accessible in many locations along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is so easy to pop on somewhere, close to Asheville, for a quick hike on well-maintained trail. Thank you “friends of MTS” for taking such good care of the trail!
This is a delightful 3.2 mile loop that meanders through an enchanted maritime forest and along the tops of ancient sand dunes. A local treasure not to missed when on the island.
The beauty is that you can park at either the fort or at the designated beach parking lot and access the trail. And there are very clean restrooms available at both ends. There is a wide variety of forest and sea flora and fauna.

However, The bugs can be a nuisance in warm weather any time of year, so long sleeves and pants are recommended. Enjoy!
