Hiking Anagach Green Trail
A gentle pinewood loopThis easy 1.
This easy 1.25-mile (2 km) circuit winds through Anagach’s pine woods, mostly on wide, smooth, flat gravel. Allow about 45–50 minutes; there are a few short uneven sections. Several routes share the woods, so keep to the short Green circuit rather than the longer Blue and Red trails.
A stretch of old military roadThe loop takes in part of General Wade’s old military road, a historical detail among the trees.
