Per Collins Chew: This road follows a valley between Bays Ridge and the Cherry Knobs. It leads past old farm ruins and can be used to make any of several loops with other trails in the Southwest end of the Park. The road joins Back Hollow Road at the end of the Park where the Cherry Knobs come to an end. Fences near the end allow the pasturing of cattle by local citizens who provide security services for the remote end of the Park. Front Hollow drains into Laurel Run. | Per Collins Chew: This road follows a valley between Bays Ridge and the Cherry Knobs.
