Fonta Flora State Trail
100-mile trail Connecting Buncombe, McDowell & Burke Counties
Community leaders, partners, funders, and supporters gathered in Old Fort to celebrate the next phase of the Fonta Flora State Trail. The new section will extend east and west from the Old Fort Dog Park toward Curtis Creek and marks another major step toward the vision of a 100-mile trail linking Morganton to Asheville.
