Northwest North Carolina is home to many beautiful hiking trails. Some of the closest to us are in Elkin, an official Trail Town. As Riversong evolved, we knew that we wanted to create custom trails throughout our beautiful property. Riversong Lane is a 1 mile long road that begins at the front of our property and ends at the start of the Mitchell River Trail Head. Below you will find a list of the the trails you can hike while staying at Riversong, as well as their lengths and difficulty.
Please stay only on marked trails to avoid entering private property.
