Big East Fork Trail on HikeWNC
How to Get Here: Big East Fork Trailhead on Hwy 276. This hike does not depart from the big parking lot at Big East Fork but rather an auxillary parking area on 276, heading towards Brevard. It's on the same side of the road as the main parking lot and should be easy to fine. It is obvious where the trail starts from this parking area.
