Confirmed from East Lakeshore Trail Mizell Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Lakeside hiking trail featuring views of Tellico Lake and Mizell Bluff, plus a paved path.
What runners say about East Lakeshore Trail Mizell Trailhead
“Thoroughly enjoyed this little hike, we could have done more but we went to the point, and watch the sunset it was beautiful♡”
“Nice parking lot, well marked, and east to follow trail along the lakeside”
“Beautiful scenery, peaceful, and also well-maintained.”
One of the best marked trails I have hiked You would have to close your eyes and walk to get off trail. Very peaceful. Must be great with spring / summer foliage.
pretty cool trail. would be a good place to take your sweetie if you have one. you can definitely tell you're close to civilization, however, but you'll always get that feeling unless you go to GSMNP or something
As most branches of East Lakeshore Trail do, Baker Hollow Branch follows the Eastern shore of Tellico Lake and provides nice views. The best view, from Mizell Bluff, is just over .5 mi from this trailhead. There are multiple places to access the lake in case you bring your dogs or just want to cool down.
