Come join Cherokee County Parks and Recreation Department for the official grand opening of the Cherokee Ford Trail!
This is the newest certified segment of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, and is a beautiful 1-mile hike along the Broad River near the area where the Patriot militia crossed on their way to the Battle of Kings Mountain.
There will be a small ceremony at 3pm at the gravel Trailhead Parking area along Wolf Den Lane, with limited parking at the trailhead and additional parking at the Ford Road Recreational Complex beside Wolf Den Lane.
The ceremony will be followed by a guided hike of the 1-mile trail showcasing the riverside forest and discussing the historic events that happened there in 1780.
