Max Patch (Hot Springs)
// March 16th, 2009 // Asheville Hiking
This short, one mile hike on the Appalachian Trail takes you across the 4,600-foot grassy knob of Max Patch, which offers 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks. This is great hike with kids due to the easy access from the parking area. Likewise, kick back with a picnic and bring your kite.
Directions from Asheville: Take I-40 W to Exit 7, right on Cold Springs Rd. for 6 miles, left on Max Patch Rd. for 2 miles. Total trip is about 45 minute from Asheville.

The view from Max Patch is one of the best around. Though not a long hike by any means, it’s a great spot for a sunset or afternoon picnic.
If you have kids, this is one of the best spots in the area. Bring a picnic, the kids can run around all day and never go out of sight. A great afternoon!
