Trail Overview
A beautiful wooded trail along the Shriner Mountain ridge. The trail is mostly rocky, becoming slightly rougher as you go. Enjoy the solitude of this out-and-back adventure through dense evergreen growth, clearings, and some possible mud. There is a large turnaround area at the end, which is also a very peaceful place to pause for a few minutes. Barner Gap Trail (hiking trail) intersects Old Tar Road about 3/4 of the way to the turn-around.
