Trail Overview
Located in Bays Mountain Park. Trail between Front Hollow Road and Back Hollow Road. Lots of spring wildflowers on northern side in the shaded hollow.
How to get there
The trail is not directly accessible from the main parking lot. Cross the dam and take either Follow Lake Road to Front Hollow Road until reaching trail sign or Lake Road to Feagins Gap and onto Back Hollow Road unti old homestead is seen.
Route Description
A 0.7 mile connecting trail between the "Hollow" roads.
Back Hollow Road continues towards Feagins Gap from right and behind the abandoned cabin. Pretty Ridge Trail has an unlabeled post, but heads uphill from left of the cabin. A fallen pine tree was partially covering this junction.
Typical Conditions
Much lesser used trail. The passage through the storm damage from Winter 2009 had been made, but many blowdowns to step over/under. Another pass by the chain saw gang would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, a narrow dirt path on the north side and a former road on the south end.
Regulations
NO BIKES! And too much trouble with all of the blowdowns anyway.
Misc. Information
Many spring wildflowers seen in April. Check out the gallery below.
