Hiking

There are several trails leading to Pinnacle Knob, but the most common one is the Bartram Trail. After a strenuous hike to the top, you will be rewarded with fascinating views of the Black Rock Mountain and the Smoky Mountains in the far distance.

Running

At an elevation of 3,141 feet, Pinnacle Knob rises up 1,000 feet over the city of Clayton. The peak can be seen from pretty much anywhere in town and is a challenge to run up. Be prepared to power-hike some near the top!
