Appalachian Trail, Jarrard Trail, and Slaughter Creek Trail Loop -

This wide in-and-out trail provides access to Blood Mountain via the Appalachian Trail from the Lake Winfield Scott Recreation Area. One of the easiest access hikes to the AT, the trail is nearly all uphill, but unlike some of the AT access trails, it does not become steep near the top.
