Trail Overview

Located in Bays Mountain Park. Parallel alternative for Azalea up to the Antennas - or return loop option. Nice hike or ride through forest of maples, tulip poplars, ferns, oaks, and other hardwoods.

How to get there

From the main parking lot, pass through or around the bird and wolf habitats to reach Lake Road. Continue around to marked trailhead.

Route Description

The path runs parallel and across the hollow from Azalea Trail. Continue up to Bays Mountain Road and over to the Antennas for an overlook of downtown Kingsport.

This trail has connections to Azalea, Chinquapin Trail, and Lake Road

Miles	Big Oak Trail	Miles
0.0	Trailhead at Lake Road	1.0
0.06	Junction with Chinquapin Trail	0.94
1.0	Trailhead at Azalea Trail	0.0

The following elevation profile proceeds from Lake Road to junction with Azalea Trail.

Typical Conditions

Hard packed trail along former logging road. The local mountain biking club has rerouted a section of the trail to give a more interesting path through the forest (although some of the former white blazes can still be seen which need to be covered).
