Now, other than Mill Pond and a couple areas near Raleigh/Durham area, i have to plan a 3-4 drive when looking for new places. That’s when I started looking into map services. Like “All Trails” and REI’s “Hiking Project”. The best two so far are Garmin “Earthmate” (free with an InReach) and “Avenza Maps”. Just a word of caution, make sure you qualify the trail or campground before you head out. Services like “All Trails” require participation from subscribers which means some of the trails are bogus. I grew up near Baggs Island and once found a trail i never knew existed on All Trails. When i went looking, the only thing i found was an old logging road that was 200 yards at the most.
