Hi Justine. It's possible but completely dependent on where they are. There's a parking area near the Massey Gap trailhead in the State Park where they have access to (there's a fence to prevent them getting to the road) but just depends if they're there. They were the last time I was there a month ago but I've also not seen them there. The only other place I know of is Scales Campground, but it's a dirt road to get there. Good luck!
Paul has a great response.
Great explanation Paul
I agree with what Paul said. The last time I was there, there was one pony just on the other side of the fence at the trailhead. But, where you are parked, you are easily 200 -300 yards away. That was the only time I have seen one so close. Most of the time, you have to hike up the trail for 0.5 miles to get to the ridge where some of them stay.
