Crowders Mountain State Park - Trails

Trails

Several hiking trails lead to the summit of Crowders Mountain, and from the summit it is possible on a clear day to see the skyscrapers of Charlotte, North Carolina to the east.

  • Crowders Trail - Strenuous, 2.5 miles (4.0 km). This trail winds along the base of Crowders Mountain which ultimately leads to the top of the mountain.
  • Backside Trail - Strenuous, .7 miles. From the Crowders Trail this trail leads around the backside of the mountain to the top.
  • Rocktop Trail - Strenuous, .9 miles. Admittedly the most difficult and technical trail in the park. It travels along the ridge of Crowders Mountain so each side has steep drop offs and unseen cliffs.

Famous quotes containing the word trails:

    My noisy denunciation trails off in doubt.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.
    Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
