Confirmed from Mowbray Pike 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.
Hiking trails, including a 3.5-mi. portion of the Cumberland Trail, and rock-climbing options.
What runners say about Mowbray Pike Trailhead
“Took an exhilarating and breathtaking experience with my husband and elder son along the ups and downs and wind arounds of this beautiful trailway in the Soddy area.”
“Incredible rock formations, enchanting streams flowing through this serene landscape lend themselves very easily to a wonderful and rewarding experience in a natural environment.”
Breathtaking views! Great little hike, but a little slippery. Massive rocks that people were climbing and walking though!
Small parking lot that fills up fast. Trails are good for hiking and trail running. Lots of people come here to boulder.
Easy to get to, pretty fun hike, lots of really cool rocks to explore. Good for a family day. The parking is not very easy. It's a small lot so you can get blocked in if you have a bigger vehicle like a van. The trail starts out as just woods, but it opens up to some beautiful views and wide open places to hike around.
Really awesome spot. About a 10 minute walk down a gently sloping hill to the boulders. Parking area was recently redone so it’s nice. The walk out is heinous if you have too much gear (ask how I found that one out). Haven’t been during peak hours, so not sure how crowded it can get.
