This 1 mile paved path with gentle grade provides a recreational opportunity for people of all abilities. Enjoy the shade of the tree cover and views of the river as you walk, run, or roll along the path. The Greenway may be accessed at the Monteith Gap Trail head located at the end of Monteith Gap Road, in Cullowhee (click on the map link below, or enter 35.32309,-83.18816 into Google Maps for directions). The Greenway is open for non motorized forms of recreation during daylight hours. Please keep all pets on a leash no longer than 6ft. and clean up pet waste.

Features:
Judaculla Rock and the surrounding 0.49 acres of land belonging to Jackson County are significant not only due to the physical evidence of soapstone quarry and bowl-manufacturing activities, but also due to the unusually dense concentration of over a thousand petroglyph motifs on the main boulder. The integrity of archaeological deposits upslope and to the east of the main boulder and the unusual complexity and variety of the petroglyphs on the main boulder not only constitute distinctive examples of prehistoric technological and artistic achievements, but also contain information that is important for research of the prehistory and history of the place and surrounding area. Judaculla Rock embodies the distinctive characteristics of a rare soapstone quarry site that dates between the Late Archaic to Early Woodland and rare petroglyphs that date to between the Middle Woodland and Early Nineteenth Century, representing the traditional work of Native American Indians and possessing a certain sense of artistic merit in their execution, with some of the petroglyph designs resembling those found on ceramic vessels in the region. The soapstone quarry and petroglyphs on the boulder meet National Register Criterion C in the areas of Archaeology, Art and Religion as the most complicated boulder of its kind east of the Mississippi River. Judaculla Rock has already yielded, and is likely to yield, additional information important in prehistory and history. (nps.gov)
