Hiking Trail

As you hike through the Cherokee National Forest between Unicoi Gap and the Doc Rogers Fields, you will follow the footsteps of people who have traveled this path for centuries. Along the way you will discover the marker for the murdered tollgate keeper and the remnants of Rolling Stone CCC Camp. At Coker Creek, the lush forest opens into the Doc Rogers Fields where the Cherokee National Forest has restored the native grasses along the creek bottom. Note: The hiking trail is marked with a blue blaze. It is 2½ miles long and is rated easy. Hikers should carry water, insect repellent, and a first aid kit. There is no cell phone signal on the trail.
