Ride Review - Horse Cove

How to get there: US 276 north towards the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just after the Forestry Discover Center and Pink Beds Pinic area take FS 1206 for about 3 miles. Turn right on FS 476. Many camp sites are near by. The start is at the first gates road on left.

Horse cove is what I would call classic Pisgah singletrack. The ride total is 12.2 miles which takes roughly 2.5-4 hours depending on how much you wanna suffer.

After a 4 mile forest road climb you are treating to some great fucking downhilling on very narrow, tight and twisty singletrack. Good stuff. There is a pretty long 3 mile gradual climb back up to the river, but there are great views and plenty of places to dip in the river.
