New Trail coming to Roan Mountain State Park

A new trail is under construction at Roan Mountain State Park. The a 1.2 mile addition to the Peg Leg Mine Loop Trail adds camping options, and will be called the Rose Bay Ridge Trail. The new trail will offer three campsites equipped with a flat, timbered platform, fire rings with grills and bear-proof lockers located downhill from each campsite. Camping is illegal on non-designated sites. Construction of the new trail will continue for about 25 more days. The new trail should be ready for use in mid September.
