    Hiking

    Sam's Gap is a popular parking area on the Appalachian Trail just outside of the town of Flag Pond, Tennessee. The parking area is situated below an interstate bridge so this area can get a bit noisy at times, but the Appalachian Trail stretches two different directions out of the parking lot and offers a quick escape from the interstate noise.
