Located in Bays Mountain Park. Park road along the SW edge of the park. High views across the valley and to Appalachian Mountains.

How to get there

From the main parking lot, cross the dam and take the left onto Lake Road for a few stop and then left again on Bays Ridge Road. Follows the ridgeline until Bays Ridge Trail splits off, and then it heads down to Ledbetter Gap.

Route Description

1.4 mile from Lake Road by dam to up, down, and rejoining Lake Road at Ledbetter Gap.

Miles	Bays Ridge Road	Miles	Elevation (ft)
0.0	Trailhead at Lake Road near reservoir dam	1.4	1835
0.1	Junction with Pine Trail which heads downhill to the north	1.3
0.6	Junction with Orchid Trail which heads downhill to the north	0.8	2156
0.9	Junction with Bays Ridge Trail continues to SW along ridge line while Bays Ridge Road heads downhill	0.5	2285
1.6	Ledbetter Gap - Junction also with Lake Road and Front Hollow Road	0.0	1920

Typical Conditions

Mostly a gravel road, but severely washed out on steep slopes (needs water bars installed to get the runoff away from the road bed).
The road can be ridden by mountain bike along the ridge crest. The section down to Ledbetter Gap will require some dismounting and walking around the worst ruts.

Misc. Information

During the section closest to the dam, the road passes between two parallel ridges of sandstone.
