Cantrell Creek Lodge
Last Thursday we took a hike from Turkey Pen Gap along the South Mills River to Cantrell Creek Lodge or what’s left of it. It was built around 1890 and was used by the forest rangers stationed in this area of Pisgha Forest. The only thing left now is the massive chimneys and a sign describing the significance of the two storey building.
The hike was interesting because the trail required crossing the river four times. Fortunately there was 3 swinging bridges and 1 log bridge. The trail is very easy which made the 9 miles a snap on a beautiful day.
