Pink Beds and Barnett Branch Hike

A mostly flat 5 miles in Pisgah National Forest on the Pink Beds Trail. Little-walker friendly! (although because of the distance, a back-up carrier is advised)

Let’s take a weekend road trip to Pisgah National Forest! We will hike parts of the Pink Beds and Barnett Branch Trails, for a total distance of 5 miles. Along the way we will pass through meadow, marshland, forest, and to a waterfall! The trail is flat and easy most of the way, but due to the distance, please bring a carrier for children under 5 years old.

See this website for a preview of our route: https://www.wncoutdoors.info/2015/05/trip-report-pink-beds-and-waterfall-on-barnett-branch/

We will meet at the Pink Beds Picnic Area in Pisgah National Forest, just off Hwy 276 11 miles north of Brevard. Here is a google map of the exact location: https://goo.gl/maps/r1f55dePko42 Gather near the trailhead sign to the left of the picnic area.

POTENTIAL BABY OR CHILD HAZARD

Parts of the trail pass through marshy areas using boardwalks. Could be buggy.
