Trail Overview
Located in Bays Mountain Park. Parallel alternative for Azalea Trail 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.
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).
After the Hike
Check out the animal habitats.
