About this campground
Unicoi Overlook Trailhead – 4400 foot elevation. The trail exits the parking area at the far western end, and descends over a bridge spanning another erosion gully, then a slight climb up to join the Forest Road just a few feet from the Beech Gap State Line. It is recommended that hikers not park at the Beech Gap area, but instead at the Unicoi Overlook Trailhead and follow the trail for 0.2 miles. This point is approximately 3.0 miles from the Mud Gap Trailhead.
