Trail Overview

Located in Bays Mountain Park. Run or ride up to the Antennas via a trail straight up the hollow. "Azalea" Trail is a misnomer as there are no azaleas along this path, but a forest of maples, tulip poplars, ferns, and other hardwoods to enjoy.

How to get there

From the main parking lot, pass through or around the bird and wolf habitats to reach Lake Road. Continue around to marked trailhead.

Route Description

The path runs right up the hollow along side of an intermittent runoff stream. One up on Bays Mountain Road, many folks would continue up to the Antennas for the view of downtown Kingsport.

The trail has connections to Lake Road (Bays Mountain Park), Big Oak Trail, River Mountain Road, Bays Mountain Road

Miles Azalea Trail Miles Elevation (ft)
0.0 Trailhead at Lake Road 1.4 1860
1.0 Junction with Big Oak Trail 0.4
1.4 Trailhead at Bays Mountain Road 0.0 2250

Typical Conditions

Hard packed and sometimes rutted trail. The runoff stream can flow down the trail during spring or hard rains. Park does a great job of cutting through the blowdowns.

Regulations

Do not mess with the electrical boxes along the trail - they are live!
