This is the Mars Hill entrance to Appalachian Trail Sam's Gap trail - this is about a 13 or so mile hike across Big Bald. It's a great hike, a bit strenuous at times and there's an AT Shelter (Lean-to) about 2/3rds of the way from Sam's Gap to Spivey Gap. The Views from Big Bald are mind-blowing

A good AT hike not far from here: Sam's Gap Access Point is the closest accessible place on the Appalachian Trail to the Mars Hill area. It has one of the nicer parking areas for Trail access in Madison County. There is a nice hike for under 2 miles going south to High Rock for a good view. Going north toward Spivey Gap, Big Bald Mountain (6.5 miles) affords another spectacular 360° view from a high elevation. Big Bald is the highest elevation in Madison County at 5516'. From Sams Gap on the Appalachian Trail, Devils Fork Gap is 8.2 miles and Spivey Gap (in Tennessee) is 13.6 miles. Sites on the Trail from Sams Gap: 2 miles hiking south to Devils Fork is High Rock which provides a good view when not overgrown with summer vegetation 6.5 miles hiking north to Spivey Gap is Big Bald Mountain where you have 360° views from an elevation of 5516' which is the highest in Madison County Driving Directions to Parking: GPS Location: N 35° 57.133’ W082° 33.652’ From Mars Hill: Take I 26 toward Tennessee to Exit 3.

Park here for a challenging and scenic hike right on the Appalachian Trail!. Only 10 minutes drive from the cabin. About 1.5 miles in you come to a meadow with long range views - you will see our cabin in the distance! Continue on as far as you are able - 6.5 miles away is the stunning Big Bald.

One of our favorite hikes in the area. It's about a 10 mile hike from start to finish and loops over the Bald Mountain. It's a beautiful place to unplug and sightsee.
