The pastoral landscapes in the Uwharrie Mountains region become especially scenic at sunrise.

Coneflowers complement a summer view of Pisgah Covered Bridge, one of only two remaining covered bridges in the state.

Continue straight from the crossroads and in a few miles you cross the West Fork of Little River at Pisgah Covered Bridge. Of the hundreds of covered bridges that once spanned North Carolina’s waterways (as many as sixty in Randolph County alone), Pisgah is one of only two remaining. An easy loop path winds through the forest downstream from the bridge and provides up-close views of the abundant mountain laurel shrub, a plant more at home in the western North Carolina mountains than here in the Piedmont.

Shortly after turning off Horseshoe Bend Road onto Flint Hill Road, look out on the right for a dirt pullout at a cliff area. This is the Jumpin’ Off Rock, a popular landmark in the Uwharries. Down the road from the cliff is a parking area on the left and the northern trailhead for Uwharrie National Recreation Trail. About twenty miles long, the trail is the longest and most challenging of those offered within Uwharrie National Forest.
