Trail Overview

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

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 (and some concurrent with) an intermittent runoff stream to the road. One up on Bays Ridge Road, most folks would continue up to the Antennas for a look down.

Miles	Azalea Trail	Miles

0.X	Big Oak Trail]	X.X
1.4	Bays Ridge Road}	0.0

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.

Fees, Permits, etc.

See the Bays Mountain Park page for details

After the Hike

Check out the animal habitats - say "Hi" to Merlin.
