- The Uwharrie Trail is a hiking trail located in the Uwharrie Mountains in central North Carolina. The original Uwharrie Trail was an approximately 40-mile (80.5-km) long hiking trail that was completed in 1975. The trail began at the Asheboro Regional airport near Tot Hill Farm road and ended at NC 24-27 in Montgomery County near Troy, NC. It was once fragmented south of the Birkhead Wilderness to Jumpin Off Rock Trailhead on Flint Hill Rd. The 20.5-mile (33-km) Uwharrie National Recreation Trail is contained inside the Uwharrie National Forest and comprises the southern portion of the Uwharrie Trail from Jumpin' Off Rock Trail Head to NC 24/27. A northern portion of the original trail passed through what is now the Birkhead Mountains Wilderness and is now called The Birkhead Mountain Trail as it no longer connects to the Uwharrie Trail. Current Status Three gaps existed from High Pine Church Rd. to Jumpin Off Rock Trailhead. One additional gap exists north of High Pine Church Rd. to the southern Birkhead Wilderness boundary. Volunteers, The LandTrust for Central NC, Forest Service and others have been working since 1998 to reconnect this 11 mile section of trail and return the trail to its historic length. An 8.5 mile section between Jumpin' Off Rock and High Pine Church Rd., including the new Walkers Creek Trailhead on High Pine Church Road, has been completed and opened to the public in the Spring of 2021. A new trailhead opened in 2013 on Thayer Rd. at the base of Little Long Mountain. The trailhead was developed by The Landtrust for Central North Carolina and named for Scout leader and trail pioneer in 2013. The remaining gap in the original Uwharrie Trail is from High Pine Church Rd. north to the southern boundary of the Birkhead Mountains Wilderness through the Strieby Community. (en)
