Trail Overview[edit]

A beautiful view of the countryside.

Several approaches are available, but a typical day hiker would likely start at Molly's Knob Trail and hike the 1.4 mi to the access point.

Average steep climb, but well used and in good shape.

Hungry Mother State Park requires fees. See park page for details.

A geocache is nearby the trail in memorial of an avid geocacher and mule rider that passed away.
