Trail Overview

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.

How to get there

Most will start at Feagins Gap, thus approach from Lake Road.

Route Description

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

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.
