Trails are free of charge, and open every day, all day. Is it the flowiest trail in the east? Better than Ridgeline? Check the video or better yet, judge it for yourself during an overnight stay in Cherokee. The trails interlace through the nearby Great Smoky Mountains, so you already know the views and terrain will take your breath away, even if your recreation of choice doesn’t! Stay at one of our downtown Cherokee hotels to be conveniently located near quaint shops. Stroll through beautiful trails, rustic bridges and enjoy picnic areas to experience the best of Cherokee. The trailhead is located about 100 yards from the Oconaluftee Indian Village in Cherokee and shares a parking lot. Starting with the roaring Oconaluftee River that runs through the park, this lush expanse is a great place to dip your toes in the water to cool off. You’ll find tables, rock gardens, and blinds for those who know, along with single-track and wider sections, spots that are smooth and fast, and trails that invite the more technically accomplished with options for those less so. That’s right-if you like your trails with a nice flow of features, with fun berms and quick hits of elevation that are manageable and fun, Fire Mountain is made for you. The network of trails is more than 10.5 miles total, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to recreate safely, responsibly…and flowy? Search over 2.9 million properties and 550 airlines worldwide. The Fire Mountain Trails are Cherokee’s newest source for big adventure-a multiuse trail system that’s made to mountain bike, hike, or run.
