Simple Tables are available to easily add tables to your page. This allows more "logical" and compact addition of simple tables to the page. You can also type out a table in a spreadsheet and save the content as a comma delimited or tab delimited file and paste it between the table commands. Tab delimited is useful if you want to use commas in the text. Excel's "Save as..." includes an option to save as either tab or comma delimited text files. After saving it, open the created text file, then paste the contents between the tab open and close commands. See the link for details but most usage is likely as follows (omit "sep=comma" if the data is tab delimited):
<tab class=wikitable sep=comma head=top> Head 1,Head 2,Head 3 Field 4,Field 5,Field 6 Field 7,Field 8,Field 9 </tab>

{{Trail Map}} __TOC__ == Trail Overview == Follow some of the footsteps by Daniel Boone up to Kane Gap in Powell Mountain. This section is cited to be the only part of the famous Wilderness Road which has not been paved. However, while there is a sign at the trailhead and reference on Scott County Tourism website, there is no actual marked trail since the old forest roads cross both private and public property. This wiki entry has a proposed route for you to take, but likely only Kane Gap itself was on the original Wilderness Trail. == 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/north onto either Industrial Park Rd/VA 879 or Daniel Boone Rd/VA 772. (Note: Google Maps is incorrect as Technology Trail Ln does not connect with Fraley Ave., but dead ends north of the interpretive center.) #Turn left/west onto Fraley Ave. #Shortly you’ll see a weathered “pink” or “orange” gate on the right. It now appears to be regularly locked. Parking is along the residential street. The house across the way is 557 Fraley Avenue, Duffield, VA. Do not try other adjacent house numbers as Google Maps takes you to the wrong location. == Route Description== [[File:Daniel boone trail profile.png|thumb|right|Profile chart]] This hike is in-and-out, thus information provide one-way below. {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- !Miles !Feature !Elevation |- |0.00 miles |Parking at locked gate |1,435 feet |- |1.50 miles |Split in forest roads - locked gate on left, take right |1,950 feet |- |2.20 miles |National Forest sign |2,200 feet |- |2.90 miles |Intersect of forest roads - EL carved on tree - continue left/straight not uphill/right |2,480 feet |- |3.00 miles |Kane Gap |2,600 feet |- |} The forest road 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? --> Very rarely used. Not a typical trail as half to three-quarters mile is a gravel road, then walking on former logging roads winding up to the mountain gap. Does not appear to be formally maintained. Views are obscured by forests which line the path, thus late fall to early spring would be good if interested in looking down into the valleys. During summer, lots of poison ivy and stinging nettle were encountered in places, thus long pants in cooler weather might be a better experience. ==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. Parking along residential street, thus consider the neighbors. == After the Hike == <!-- Anywhere interesting to stop by since you're in the area!! --> Or before. Stop at the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Interpretive Center at 371 Technology Trail Lane in Duffield for interesting facts and history. A short movie, then walk through exhibits with limited interaction. Open Friday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Gate closed and locked at entrance on Technology Trail. Kane Gap can be viewed clearly from the front building entrance. == Misc. Information == There is also a different Kane Gap in West Virginia. Reported that the Morrell mushrooms are seen along the trail during second or third week in April. Kane Gap Trail, also stated on the Scott County Tourism website, appears to be hiking Jefferson National Forest Road 642 from near(?) Kane Gap to Tito Drive. Intersection with this Daniel Boone Trail is uncertain on making an extended hike with shuttling. == Photos == {{Park trail gallery|Trail={{PAGENAME}}}}
