White Rock Loop

04/09/22

The White Rock loop trail is the best way to experience all Buffalo Mountain has to offer. This trail takes you around the mountain and while White Rock has the best overlook, there are multiple places with a view. The trail is steeper and more uneven through sections so it’s not optimal for small children. The trail is rather well maintained for the most part. There are multiple creek crossings. Some crossings have bridges and others you’re just left on your own. Parking at the park has never been an issue for me. There is ample room to park along the paved road. This trail is a great option for a hike with a view not far from Johnson City.
