Stretching 330-miles through four states (Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina) the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail traces the route used by Patriot militia during the pivotal Kings Mountain campaign of 1780. Follow the campaign by utilizing a Commemorative Motor Route which uses existing state highways marked with the distinctive trail logo, or 87 miles of walkable trails.
Cherokee County was the recent recipient of a Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) grant that will provide significant funding to plan and design approximately 26 miles of trail associated with the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail (OVVI) corridor and Carolina Thread Trail (CTT). The Federal Lands Access Program was created to improve state and local transportation facilities that provide access to and through federal lands.
