This gravel parking lot provides convenient access to the Bartram Trail trailhead directly across Hickory Knoll Road in southern Macon County, with parking spaces defined by bollards and bumpers.

The lot sits on Mainspring Conservation Trust property that borders Nantahala National Forest and offers access to publicly available lands suitable for hiking, fishing, and hunting.

An informational kiosk and native plant landscaping are planned for the area to enhance the visitor experience.
