Hiking
This is a more remote section of the Foothills Trail. If you plan to hike to Table Rock State Park, bring enough food for at least two nights of camping. Between Thompson River and Toxaway River, you'll see a diverse variety of plants and fungi in a lush section of the trail.
Blue marks indicate reliable water sources, but a filter is still recommended.
