The trailhead is located about 100 yards from the Oconaluftee Indian Village in Cherokee and shares a parking lot. You’ll find tables, rock gardens, and blinds for those who know, along with single-track and wider sections, spots that are smooth and fast, and trails that invite the more technically accomplished with options for those less so. That’s right-if you like your trails with a nice flow of features, with fun berms and quick hits of elevation that are manageable and fun, Fire Mountain is made for you. The network of trails is more than 10.5 miles total, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to recreate safely, responsibly…and flowy? The Fire Mountain Trails are Cherokee’s newest source for big adventure-a multiuse trail system that’s made to mountain bike, hike, or run.
