South Old Mac Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail is much steeper than the North Old Mac Trail and climbs up the Judge Branch valley to the top of Old Mac. Much of the trail is beautiful, rugged, rocky singletrack.

Frozen Head Lookout Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you get splendid views across Frozen Head. The climb up via the trail is steep but well worth the views! The lookout tower has picnic tables near its base.
