Harper Creek Trail (2.2 mile moderate hike)
The trail head is located approximately 4 miles from BMB. You will cross 2 bridges and the welcome center. Two miles from the visitors center is the trail head on the left. With a moderately sized gravel parking lot and a quick 500 ft ascend up the mountain, the trail starts. -Don’t worry, the first 500 ft. are the worst- and then the trail will level out. You will follow the creek most of the way and at about 2 miles, you will hear the waterfalls. Once you get to the top, you will notice a rope to climb down. (Don’t worry it is scarier that it looks). Grab the rope and get to climbing! You will find a three tier waterfall (the first fall being 10 ft.) the second 40 ft and the third is a 10 ft. drop. *Local tip* . The waterfall is covered in moss so kick your feet up and slide down it! There is a rope on the other side to climb back up. Also, don’t e shy to go to the middle of the 3rd waterfall and indulge in the natural cold jets of the water.
Adam’s Knob Overlook (Moderate-Hard 1 mile hike)
It is a 1 mile hike directly up hill to the most amazing view of Table Rock, Grandfather Mountain and on a clear day you can see Charlotte. How to get to Adam’s Knob from BMBR: Take a right out of the resort, go to the end of Brown Mountain Beach Rd. Turn left on to Adako Rd. Drive 1 mile take a left on to Murphy Hill Place (it is gravel) . Go slow (people’s dogs are running around enjoying nature as well) Drive 3/4 of a mile and you will take a slight right onto Maple Sally Lane, keep going through the federal land gate (it’s open) and drive a mile until you see a very small pull off on the left- you will see the trail head, begin your journey!
