About this trail
Flanners Beach Campgound Loop (USFS trail TR502) is a 0.8 mi trail in National Forests in North Carolina, North Carolina. Everything below comes straight from the US Forest Service National Forest System Trails dataset — length, surface, slope-derived difficulty, and the specific bike and e-bike designations on record — so you can check legality before you load up. The tread is mapped as asphalt. USFS slope data puts it in the Easy band (grade band +0-5%), meaning a gentle climb — keep in mind this measures steepness, not trail technicality. Mountain bikes are allowed, open year-round in the data. The agency lists no Class 1, 2 or 3 e-bike designation here; absent a local order to the contrary, that means e-bikes are not an allowed use on this trail. The route is mapped as USFS Trail Class 5 on the agency's 1-to-5 development scale, where 1 is the most primitive, minimally maintained tread and 5 is the most developed, and the record carries an accessibility designation for this trail. Because conditions, closures, and local orders change between data refreshes, confirm the current status with the managing ranger district before you ride.
