Foothills Trail is over 80 miles and travels from
Caesar's Head and Raven Cliff Falls to
Oconee State Park along the North Carolina Border. 43 miles of this trail was built and maintained by Duke Power Company as part of a licensing agreement for the construction of Lake Joccasee. The section of the trail from Laurel Fork Creek to the Whitewater River is often referred to as the Gorges Section and is little known by hikers. The bio-diversity of the plant life in this area is unparalleled in the East. 81 rare plant species have been recorded so far. Primitive campsites are located along the trail.
