Trail Overview

Located in Bays Mountain Park. New mountain biking trail constructed by the local club. Good short alternate ride or hike downhill through hardwood forest.

Extended by SOBRA in 2014 to make it possible to take Bear Run all the way to Feagins Gap and bypass the River Mountain Road. Conditions are the same as the original trail.

How to get there

Most folks are going to ride this trail down from Indian Pipes - likely after visiting the fire tower. Others might hike it up as a loop with sections of Indian Pipes, Pretty Ridge, and Back Hollow Road.

Route Description

The path meanders through the forest on a route originally constructed as a hiking trail back in late 1990s. It has connections to Indian Pipes Trail and River Mountain Road.

Miles Bear Run Trail Miles Elevation (ft)
0.0 Trailhead at Feagins Gap 0.9 ~1900
0.2 Junction at River Mountain Road 0.2 ~2100
0.9 Junction with Indian Pipes Trail 0.0 2371

Unless the section of Indian Pipes Trail has been renamed, this Bear Run Trail is half the distance shown on the Bays Mountain park map. The distance from River Mountain Road over to the upper trailhead is 0.7 miles.

Typical Conditions

Hard packed trail with groove down the middle from the mountain bikes. Some rocks located at key spots.
