Abstract: Sugar Cove is a tributary stream to the North River in the Cherokee National Forest.  For most of its fishable length, Sugar Cove is 15 to 20 feet wide with many pools up to 3 feet deep.  There is one major waterfall that is preceded by a bedrock slide.  The combination makes for one of the most beautiful streams on the forest. Brook (northern strain) and rainbow trout are present below the falls with only brookies found above it. The hiking trail beside the stream above the bridge is in fairly good condition. Most of the trail is flat until the last half mile (well above fishable water) where it becomes very steep (several switchbacks).

Abstract: McNabb Creek is a tributary stream to the North River in the Cherokee National Forest.  For most of its fishable length, McNabb is 15 to 30 feet wide with some pools up to 3 feet deep.  There are no major waterfalls but many small (3 to 4 feet high) ones.  Brook (southern strain), rainbow and brown trout are all present. A poorly maintained hiking trail runs its entire length with the stream always within sight.  Most of the trail is flat until the last half mile where it becomes very steep (several switchbacks).
