Updated and expanded in 2003, the Trails Illustrated map #780 is the single most valuable publication for mountain biking in the Pisgah Ranger District. This National Geographic map has updated trails, excellent topo-shading, and an expanded coverage area over older versions.
The #780 map shows all official trails in the Pisgah Ranger District (including Bent Creek, Mills River, and Davidson River areas). Trails are color coded for biking, hiking, and/or horseback use, and it has information on hiking, biking, and camping in the area, seasonal trail closure information, and more. Based on USGS quadrangle maps, it has all the detail they provide (contour lines, roads, streams, forest type, buildings, etc.) folded into one lightweight, waterproof, tear-resistant map.
