Located in [[Bays Mountain Park]].  Back Hollow Road leads to less used part of the park from Feagins Gap past old cabins and a primitive camping area.  The far western part becomes difficult to travel due to blowdowns and a creek that runs in the path.

The field near the cabin is a primitive campsite only for park approved camping by Boy Scouts. Approval by the park must be obtained prior to use.

Former gravel road to primitive campsite.  Then a dirt road to far west end.  While there is a line on the map, that does not mean there is a trail on the ground.  Past split to Pretty Ridge Trail has been abandoned by the park, thus no maintenance being done.
