Trail Overview[edit]
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.
The field near the cabin is a primitive campsite only for park approved camping by Boy Scouts. Approval by the park must be obtained prior to use.
How to get there[edit]
Most will start at Feagins Gap, thus approach from Lake Road.
Route Description[edit]
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
| Miles | Back Hollow Road | Elevation (ft) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.00 | Feagins Gap | 1910 |
| 0.56 | Cabin maintained by park | 1720 |
| 0.62 | Primative campsite | 1700 |
| 0.90 | Junction with Pretty Ridge Trail and Cross Ridges Trail | 1675 |
| 1.72 | Barbed wire fence gate | 1640 |
| 1.80 | Junction with Pretty Ridge Trail across field and behind barn. Look for sty over fence. | 1615 |
| 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[edit]
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.
