Amberson Ridge spans roughly eight miles and rises to nearly 2,200 feet in Tuscarora State Forest, with spectacular views as the trail climbs from Cowpens Road. The terrain transitions into quiet hardwood forest with limited road access, giving this segment a remote, backcountry feel. It's a fantastic stretch for wildlife watching, where you'll likely see white-tailed deer and wild turkeys, with plenty of spots to stop and admire the view.
