Terrapin Mountain is located on public property within boundaries of the Nantahala National Forest.
However, there are no official trails and surrounding private property make it difficult to access. Staying entirely on public land involves a very long and arduous journey!
 
Fortunately, my buddy Scott (aka The Professor) was able to obtain permission to park on private property making access to Terrapin Mountain much easier.
 
Also joining us would be Brenda, Renee, and Mark.
 
Along the drive I made a quick stop to catch the sunrise of Lake Oolenoy near Table Rock, SC.

I also captured a Bear on my Dash Cam  (not high quality footage, but you should definitely be able to spot the Bear)
 

 

Here are some of the Photos from our Terrapin Mountain Adventure:

We ran into some beautiful horses on the hike out.
(Thanks to the owners for allowing us to park at and access through their private property)
