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
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

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.

 == Typical Conditions ==
 <!-- Typical conditions throughout the year of what to expect on the trail. Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees?  -->
-Former gravel road to primative campsite.  Then a dirt road to far west end.  When the BMP says "creek is along road" really means the creek runs thru road bed sometimes.
