An easy, flat and shaded hike along the Laurel River. Walk up to 3.5 miles out, or as little as you want. Swimming spots along the river. Ample parking and a coffee shop too (The Laurel River Store).

You can walk to the French Broad River and back, and it's relatively level because it follows the Big Laurel. Good swimming holes! Good for deggos!

Laurel River Trail and Store The Trail (also good for mountain biking): Laurel River Trail is a 7 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Hurricane, North Carolina that features a river and is good for all skill levels. You can turn around at any point in your hike if the young’un’s get tired. The trail is an old railroad bed which used to carry logs to the Runion sawmill in the 1920's, and as such, is mostly level. However, it's rocky and rooty in spots, so do bring the boots. A few small streams flow across the trail at various points, and bluffs tower over the river making the valley narrow and enclosed with precipitous slopes on either side. Huge boulders choke the gorge forming raging rapids in places, and a few deep holes’ invite strong swimmers to take the plunge in warm weather. The trail nears its end at the former logging town of Runion. In its heyday, Runion was home to more than 1,000 people. Brick chimneys and crumbling foundations still remain - one of the few "ghost towns" in North Carolina. The trail crosses the railroad at the confluence of the Big Laurel and French Broad, and ends on the other side of the tracks at a tranquil riverside flat. Trespassing on railroad property is dangerous, so just follow the trail straight across (after looking and listening for trains - this is an active line!) and do not attempt to cross Big Laurel Creek on the railroad bridge like some have in the past.

The store is a marker for the parking area on the 25/70 side towards Asheville. You will love the gentle stroll with what we call all wonderful downward views. It goes back bout 3.5 miles to the train bridge. Mid way you will see lots of folks jumping from the rock into the river. This has rolling hills no strenuous areas great for all ages. There is so much room to stop on the river and have your own space even if the parking area is full.
