This new, easy trail follows the Davidson River up from the Lowe's in Brevard, to the Davidson River Campground. Makes it possible to ride from downtown Brevard onto Pisgah's trail system without following a road. Easy; nearly level; hard packed crushed gravel surface. Nice riverside scenery; passes a large rock cliff at one point. Would make an excellent beginner or even first-time ride; trails around the campground could be used to explore further if desired.
