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