If unpaved adventure is your thing, Bent Creek delivers an incredible amount of it just minutes from Asheville. This highly detailed map covers the Bent Creek Experimental Forest and its dense network of legal trails, Forest Service roads, streams, recreation areas, trailheads and backcountry landmarks. Bent Creek is one of Western North Carolina’s most popular places to hike, mountain bike and explore for good reason. It offers everything from approachable outings for beginners to fast descents, stout climbs and longer loops that will keep experienced riders and hikers coming back. Whether you have an hour after work or most of the day, Bent Creek makes it easy to put together a great adventure without driving deep into the mountains. At 1:14,000, this map provides substantially more detail than our Pisgah Ranger District map, with 20-foot intermediate contours and 100-foot index contours that make it easy to read the terrain, understand the climbs and descents, and see how the trail system fits together. Bent Creek represents only one part of the Pisgah Ranger District. For the rest of the district—including the extensive trail system around Brevard, Looking Glass, Mills River, Turkey Pen, Black Balsam, Shining Rock and the surrounding backcountry—see our Pisgah Ranger District map. Designed locally with local knowledge, this map is built for making the most of one of Asheville’s greatest outdoor playgrounds.
