Singing Pines Trail

Singing Pines is a short, level three-quarter-mile path from the Duck Creek Visitor Center out to views of Duck Creek Pond — the kind of easy walk built for families and anyone wanting fresh mountain air without a real climb. As of the most recent information available, though, the trail was damaged following a timber sale and has not been reestablished; repair plans are pending, so it's worth checking current status at the visitor center before counting on it.
