Farlow Gap is a popular trail for mountain biking and hiking, located in the western area of North Carolina.

It can be combined with other trails to form a loop of about 14 miles (23 km), requiring anywhere from three to six hours to complete.

[3][7] Nearly the entire trail is singletrack, and starts with a relatively flat section but quickly becomes fall line into a rock garden.

A separate short ride from the Daniel Ridge Trail can be taken to see Toms Spring Falls.

Challenges for hikers include a long strenuous climb when hiking the trail as a loop, rocky sections, and crossing small creeks.

[9] Rhododendron also grows abundantly (sometimes called laurel), and remains green all year, its leaves curling in the winter.
