One of the many outstanding features of F.D. Roosevelt State

This west-to-east corridor measures 23 miles. Circling off of that corridor
are six loop trails, which bring the total trail mileage to almost 40 miles.
Along these miles, there are 13 backcountry campsites. The Pine Mountain Trail
offers clear crisp views of distant ridges in winter, with occasional snowfall,
to the lush greens of summer ferns and foliage of lowland flora. Wildflowers
are abundant and spring brings flowering dogwood, native azalea, mountain laurel
and rhododendron. Fall brings bright and beautiful colors, changing from day
to day.
