== Trail Overview ==
<!-- Enter overview of the trail. What attracts you to this trail, points of interest, types of flowers, lakes, and peaks that you see along the way. -->
Follow the footsteps of Daniel Boone up to a gap in Powell Mountain.   Only part of the famous Wilderness Road which has not been paved.

== How to get there ==
<!-- Please enter detailed instruction on how to find the trail head. -->
From Kingsport, TN 
#North on US-23 to Duffield.
#Turn left/west at the red-light onto US-58/421 (Duff-Patt Highway).  
#Turn right onto one of the roads heading north (Industrial Park, Daniel Boone, or Technology Trail).
#Turn left onto Fraley Ave.
#Shortly you’ll see a “pink” or “orange” gate on the right.  If the gate is unlocked, then head uphill to a parking area by the water tower.  It is not recommended to drive further due to deep ruts in the roadway.  If the gate is locked, there is parking at N36°43.179 W82°48.445.

== Route Description==
<!-- Detailed description of the route. Is there any side trails that are worth traveling? -->
Lightly used.  First half to three-quarters mile is a rutted gravel road.  The path then becomes a former logging road winding up to the mountain gap.  Return by same route.  Reported to be a blazed route.

The trail is also reported to continue down into Wallen’s Creek valley for an extended hike.

== Typical Conditions ==
<!-- Typical conditions throughout the year of what to expect on the trail. Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees?  -->
Not a typical trail as more walking along wide gravel, and then logging roads.  Views are limited by forests which line the path, thus late fall to early spring would be good if interested in looking down into the valleys.

==Fees, Permits, etc. ==
<!-- Please list any Fees, Permits, Regulations, etc. that may be required on this trail.-->
No fees or permits are required for day hiking.   Open sunrise to sunset.

== After the Hike ==
<!-- Anywhere interesting to stop by since you're in the area!! -->

== Misc. Information ==
<!-- Enter any additional information that doesn't fit an any other fields. Does this trail require any permits for overnight? parking? -->
The prompt for creating this trail page was a story in the Kingsport Times-News.   Here is a subsequent shorter blog page written from that story [http://www.timesnews.net/article/9040661/kane-gap-makes-a-great-winter-hike link].

There is also a different Kane Gap in West Virginia.

Virginia Birding website for the [http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/vbwt/site.asp?trail=2&loop=MDB&site=MDB05  “Daniel Boone Trail”].  There is another nearby path on a forest service road from the Jasper community up the mountain that is called the [http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/vbwt/site.asp?trail=2&loop=MDB&site=MDB03  “Kane Gap Trail”].  

Reported that the Morrell mushrooms are seen along the trail during second or third week in April.
