Croatan, Nantahala, and Uwharrie are three other National forests administered by the same people who administer the park in which the Art Loeb trail runs through.
The Art Loeb Trail is a 30.1 mi trail located in Pisgah National Forest in Western North Carolina. 
 The northern terminus is at the Daniel Boone Boy Scout Camp in Haywood County, while the trail's southern terminus is located near the Davidson River Campground, near Brevard, in Transylvania County. 
 Along the way, the trail traverses several significant peaks, including Black Balsam Knob (6,214ft), Tennent Mountain (6040ft) and Pilot Mountain (5095ft). 
 The trail also passes the base of Cold Mountain, made famous by the novel and film. 
Pisgah National Forest is a National Forest in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. 
 It is administered by the United States Forest Service, part of the United States Department of Agriculture. 
 The forest is managed together with the other three North Carolina National Forests (Croatan, Nantahala, and Uwharrie) from common headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina.
