Trail Overview

Rail Hollow starts out from Stallion Bluff Road/FSR2185 and descends along The Piney Creek Wilderness on 39-1M/FSR1018. It is a well-maintained gravel road freshly graded and wide enough for two vehicles to pass. Once passing the Smith Branch turn off FSR1019 the road becomes much steeper and loose descending down to the James River arm of Table Rock Lake. Take caution when descending this hill, 4WD is recommended for returning to the top. This area is very popular for camping along the lake when the water is low a nice gravel beach surrounds the large area for camping.

Road is starting to deteriorate down the hills and they have blocked off any and all access to get close to the beach now, including any camp spots at the end.

Road has a block it can be drove around and still drive to end of trail by water. Trail is not too complicated, tight in some spaces but nothing bad.
