Trail Overview

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

How to get there

Most will start at Feagins Gap, thus approach from Lake Road.

Route Description

The path meaders through the forest on a ridgeline.

Miles Back Hollow Road Miles Elevation (ft)
0.0 Feagins Gap 1.9 1920
0.9 Junction with Pretty Ridge Trail and Cross Ridges Trail 1.0 1672
1.8 Junction with Pretty Ridge trail 0.1 1615
1.9 Connection with Front Hollow Road 0.0 1609

Typical Conditions

Former gravel road to primative campsite. Then a dirt road to far west end. When the BMP says "creek is along road" really means the creek runs thru road bed sometimes.
