Trail Overview
Located in Bays Mountain Park. Back Hollow Road leads to less used part of BMP from Feagins Gap past old cabins and primative camping area. The far western part becomes difficult to travel due to blowdowns and creek 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.
Miles | Back Hollow Road | Elevation (ft) |
---|---|---|
0.00 | Feagins Gap | 1910 |
0.56 | Cabin maintained by park | 1720 |
0.62 | Primative campsite | 1700 |

1.86 | Large gate - trail veers left | 1635 |

Mountain biking is only to the primative campsite, then hiking only.
Typical Conditions
Former gravel road to primative 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.
