The The Leatherwood Loop is a gorgeous trail, but it is narrow and steep with lots of exposed roots and rocks. Parental note: If you have youngsters, this is a great park, but I don't recommend taking the trails unless you have a carrier and are sure-footed. When the road turns to gravel, you have arrived. Go about 6 miles until you see the brown National Forest sign that says 'Fires Creek.' The picnic area is an additional 2 miles down this road. The turn will be on the left by the Hills Store. Take 64 out of Murphy toward Hayesville for 9 miles. Follow the directions, and you'll find it-don't let the lack of signs scare you off! It is owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) and operated by Caesars Entertainment.
