“Pet-friendly hiking trail along the Oconaluftee River”
Oconaluftee River Trail – One of two walking paths in the National Park where visitors can walk dogs and bicycle. ( The other is the Gatlinburg trail.) Pets and bicycles are prohibited on all other park trails. The trail travels 1.5 miles one-way from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center's Mountain Farm Museum to the outskirts of the city of Cherokee, NC. It is relatively flat, but does have a few small hills. The trail runs through the forest along side the Oconaluftee River and offers beautiful views of the river.
The Oconaluftee Island Park should also be added to the map. This area is beautiful with easily accessible river, picnic tables and plenty of parking. It's the perfect stop if you just want to get your toes in the sand.
