Parks & Nature
The Appalachian Trail, Max Patch, and Harmon Den (spectacular bald with many hiking options, 7 miles from here) are most easily accessed off of Max Patch Rd. From the cabin, turn left onto Caldwell Mountain Road and right onto Meadow Fork Rd. After 1.75 miles, turn left onto SSR1181, Little Creek Rd which quickly becomes gravel. Follow Little Creek Rd for 3 miles to the intersection with Max Patch Rd. Turn right onto Max Patch Rd and the parking lot of the Max Patch trailhead will be on the right after about 1.5 miles.
