Approximately 67 yards up Rich Gap Road is the Bob Padgett Tulip Poplar, the second largest tree in North Carolina.
Padgett was a local naturalist who waged a tireless battle to preserve Highlands' natural heritage, including this tremendous tree.
After viewing the poplar, head down Horse Cove Road to the fork where the gravel road begins.
Here you have two choices.
If you take the right fork, Bull Pen Road, it will lead you to the Chattooga River, one of the South's great wild rivers.
The Chattooga was the unforgettable setting for the movie "Deliverance".? Bull Pen is a narrow, curving gravel road that is well worth the time.
