Pisgah NF Dispersed off FS 148 (Max Patch)

Description

Below the bald summit of Max Patch, the wooded western edge of Pisgah National Forest hosts a pull-off along FS 148 (Cold Springs Creek Road) that offers a quiet base camp in the Southern Appalachian highlands. A posted camping sign marks the entrance, and the main pull-off is large enough for multiple vehicles including trailers, with a few smaller clearings branching off the road nearby. Bear Branch runs close by, providing a natural water source, and the surrounding forest keeps the site sheltered and calm.
