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|Other Trails=Bays Ridge Road,Lake Road (Bays Mountain Park),Cross Ridges Trail,Pretty Ridge Trail,Bays Ridge Trail}} __TOC__ == Trail Overview == Located in [[Bays Mountain Park]], but on the Hawkins County side past Ledbetter Gap. The park road is heavily damaged by ATV usages. It is a connector to allow loop hikes with [[Cross Ridges Trail|Cross Ridges Trail]] or [[Bays Ridge Road|Bays Ridge Road]]. == How to get there == <!-- Please enter detailed instruction on how to find the trail head. --> From the main parking lot, cross the dam and take the left onto [[Lake Road (Bays Mountain Park)|Lake Road]] to Ledbetter Gap. Front Hollow Road begins on the other side of the locked orange park gate. The far west end is not officially accessible from outside the park. == Route Description == [[File:Front hollow road profile.png|thumb|right]] The path follows the base of the ridge. Meanders some to pass around deep muddy ruts and intersects with the creek. This trail has connections to [[Trail connects to::Lake Road (Bays Mountain Park)|Lake Road]], [[Trail connects to::Bays Ridge Road]], [[Trail connects to::Jones Road]], [[Trail connects to::Cross Ridges Trail]], [[Trail connects to::Pretty Ridge Trail]], [[Trail connects to::Bays Ridge Trail]], and [[Trail connects to::Back Hollow Road]]. {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- !Miles !Front Hollow Road !Miles !Elevation (ft) |- |0.0 |Road starts at locked orange park gate at Ledbetter Gap |1.8 |1920 |- |0.3 |Junction with [[Jones Road|Jones Road]] at the "Big Oak".

Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees? --> Mostly an eroded dirt road, with large, muddy water-filled ruts. Illegal ATV use has destroyed some of the road bed. Picked up a grocery bag of beer cans for recycling. == Misc. Information == <!-- Enter any additional information that doesn't fit an any other fields. Any seasonal features, factoids, etc...? --> 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. Be careful during hunting season as hunters have been seen on this far west end of the nature preserve. == Photos == {{Park trail gallery|Trail={{PAGENAME}}}}
