Trail Overview

Located in Bays Mountain Park. Back Hollow Road leads to less used part of the park from Feagins Gap past old cabins and a primitive camping area. The far western part becomes difficult to travel due to blowdowns and a creek that runs in the path.

How to get there

Most will start at Feagins Gap, thus approach from Lake Road.

Route Description

Mostly straight shot down hollow. No blazes.

This trail has connections to Lake Road (Bays Mountain Park), River Mountain Road, Cross Ridges Trail, Pretty Ridge Trail, and Front Hollow Road

1.86	Large gate - trail veers left	1635
1.95	Connection with Front Hollow Road in meadow	1615

Mountain biking is only to the primitive campsite, then hiking only.

Typical Conditions

Former gravel road to primitive campsite. Then a dirt road to far west end. While there is a line on the map, that does not mean there is a trail on the ground. Past split to Pretty Ridge Trail has been abandoned by the park, thus no maintenance being done.
