Trail Overview

This is one of the easier trails to run in what has become known as the Tar Hollow Trails of Vinton & Hocking County. This trail is not maintained and is rutted with a few mud holes. It is a good connector to take if you wish to minimize the amount of main road/pavement when running other trails in the area. This is one of a few trails in the area that a stock 4WD can take if careful.
