The track for Cherry Knobs Trail is shown in green. Lakeside Trail in yellow. Lake Road in orange. Cross Ridges Trail in red.

Trail Overview

Located in Bays Mountain Park. There are no cherry trees along this trail, but a steep path up and along the Cherry Knobs - which can be noted on topo maps. High view of the reservoir.

How to get there

The trail is not directly accessible from the main parking lot. Most folks will cross the dam and follow Lakeside Trail over the floating bridge until a Cherry Knobs trail sign is seen.

Route Description

Steep trail up and along the Cherry Knobs. Trekking poles might be useful to transfer weight off legs. This trail has connections with Lake Road and Cross Ridges Trail

Miles Cherry Knobs Trail Miles
0.0 Trailhead at Lakeside Trail 1.6
0.05 Spur trail to abandoned cemetery. One of three reported within Bays Mountain Park. 1.55
0.7 Junction with Lake Road. Both travel together for 0.3 miles. 0.9
1.0 Junction with Lake Road. To SW, light blue vinyl blazes. 0.6
1.6 Trailhead at Cross Ridges Trail 0.0

Typical Conditions

Between Lakeside Trail and Lake Road, the dirt and leaf-covered path head up the Cherry Knobs. The piece shared with Lake Road is wide gravel road popular with mountain biking. Between Lake Road and Cross Ridges Trail, the path is much less used thus less maintained, so many small trees and briars grow along the path. The light blue vinyl blazes fortunately guide you.

Regulations

NO BIKES!

Misc. Information

Pink azaleas can be found in the park, which would be the flowering tree similar to a cherry.
