Kerr Scott Trails - Dark Mountain

Located just west of North Wilkesboro, the Kerr Scott Lake has several recreation areas along its shores which have various outdoor activities available, including camping, picnicking, boating, hiking and mountain biking.

There are 3 sections of mountain biking trails which include a total of 32 miles of single track - Warrior Creek, Dark Mountain, and the Overmountain Victory Trail (OVT). Note that these 3 sections are not connected by trails - It is a short 1/2 mile ride on a paved road from Dark Mountain to the OVM. However, to get to Warrior Creek is several miles on Route 268.

The trails at Dark Mountain are quite varied, with everything from steep, tight switchbacks on Trail #2 to a long section of a gradual, smooth downhill on Trail #5 to wide double track on Trail C.
