Maddron Bald Trail, Hiking trail in Cocke County, Tennessee.
The Maddron Bald Trail extends 7.3 miles through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, reaching an elevation of 5,212 feet at its summit point.
The trail, constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, was initially known as Indian Camp Creek Trail before receiving its current name.
The Willis Baxter Cabin, constructed in 1889 from a single chestnut tree, stands at mile 0.7 and represents early Appalachian building techniques.
Hikers should prepare for six unbridged water crossings and a 500-meter elevation gain across the trail, which typically requires 4 hours to complete.
Albright Grove, located three miles into the trail, contains the oldest cove hardwood forest in the national park with trees exceeding 200 years.
