Working farm with hiking trails leading into nice forests. Important bird-watching area for rare golden-winged warblers.
There are currently three trails in the nature area. All begin from the parking lot by following the Overmountain Trail to common junction. Shell Hollow proceeds up a dirt road past a former homestead to become a loop up on Big Ridge. Birchfield Trail follows the western side of Left Prong creek until it rejoins the Overmountain Trail, which proceeds on the eastern side of the creek but continues up Yellow Mountain to intersection with the Appalachian Trail at the gap.
Signage for the OVNHT is adequate while those for the other two trails needs to be updated as not clear where are their lower access points. The information kiosks at several points also have badly crazed, thus should be considered for replacement.
No permit or fee. The nature area closes at dusk.
NOTE Hunting is permitted. Use precaution when hiking during hunting season
Hampton Creek Cove is a 693-acre natural area.
