About This Trail

Imported description

There are information and monuments on the trail about the battle. The park hours can be found on their website. The Battle of Kings Mountain occurred when a force of colonialsharpshooters defeated a British Loyalist force. It was one of the significant turning points in the war. The trail climbs the ridge and passes several historical markers. It proceeds along the top of the ridge. The trail is not very open and you can't take pictures on it. Wheelchair and stroller use should be avoided because the trail has steep sections and cross slopes. Dogs are allowed, as are service animals.
