First-time visitors should take advantage of this nature trail, which is an easy walk for all ages. Several interpretive signs along the way point out common plants, trees, and animals that can be found in the Pisgah Ranger District. By walking along boardwalks, over bridges, and even across a 30-foot-long suspension bridge, you can learn about mountain laurels, rhododendron, and raccoons. The beauty of this trail changes with the seasons and the weather, so many people walk it several times each year. Come see the rhododendron blooms in July, eat sweet raspberries in August, or admire the fall colors in October. Be sure to make the Andy Cove Nature Trail one of your stops when you visit the Pisgah Ranger District. The trail is rated as easy and has an approximate elevation change of 55 feet. No blazes.
