Hello to all,

My question is pretty straight forward I live in NC and I have hiked a pretty good section of the AT and my children keep telling me about Max Patch.

I have gone past and through there but my children want to go and hang out. If it were me and my son there would be no problem but my daughter wants to come with. She is not a hiker

I always remember taking I-40 to Exit 7 Harmons den, and taking the service road up there. I have heard that the road has washed out and it is not possible to do this any more.

Do you know an alternate way of getting there, or am I wrong about the above.

I remember hiking through the area and saw people camping up there as well... not on the bald but a different trail looked like a logging road.

I have a map of the area, but I thought I would ask you guys about this well used area.

As always, any information is appreciated and very welcome!

And no...... there is no way of converting my daughter, I have tried many times.

Best,
Floyd
