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.
