Point Trail_Obed Scenic River (4)
Point Trail is a moderate trail has a round trip length of 3.8 miles winding through a hemlock forest, laurel, and rhododendron. The trail culminates on the narrow, exposed ridge that separates the Obed River and Clear Creek River before their confluence. There are many rock ledges where you can enjoy a picnic lunch or just take a moment to take in the views. The most popular viewpoint is through the arch rock on the right side of the trail approaching the trail's end.
I was thoroughly pushed to my limits on this trail, so be in good shape and prepared...water, food, and camera! Plenty of places to pause and rest, so take your time. It's about 2 hours out and back, unless to stop to see water falls, creeks, wildflowers, and breathtaking views, like we did.
