The Davidson River trailhead is perhaps the most popular area within the entire Pisgah National Forest, for mountain bikers,
hikers, equestrians, rock climbers, fishermen, naturalists, photographers, and tourists alike. This is the quintessential
National Forest recreation area, with a wide range of attractions that will delight any type of visitor. Being so close to a
good highway and to town, this area is perfect for someone who loves the outdoors but also likes being close to the amenities
of the modern world. However, some of Pisgah's greatest backcountry and wilderness areas can be accessed from the area as well.
Mountain Biking along US 276 in the Davidson River Area:
The vast majority of people who venture into this section of the forest stick to a narrow corridor right along this major
thoroughfare. As soon as one ventures off the major roads and into the woods, the hustle and bustle is soon left behind and s
olitude once again reigns. There are more than enough trails and gravel roads in this area to take up a day of riding, and
you can most likely stay busy for several days exploring the mountains here.
Trails in the Davidson River area are generally similar to those found elsewhere in the Pisgah National Forest. They are
rockier, steeper, and more challenging than those at Tsali. Many trails follow old road or railroad beds and have significant
erosion problems. Others climb high mountain ridges and are true singletrack treads.
