Trail Overview

This is a smooth but unimproved road that travels North/South along the Eastern edge of Smelter Knolls. This trail provides access to a handful of trails that lead closer to the knoll, as well as a couple that lead up onto the knoll. The trail runs between Tolbert Windmill Road and Little Drum Pass and is best accessed from Little Drum Pass. The trail is open year-round but may be impassible due to snow or mud, depending on the conditions. Some of the side trails heading East from this road cross mud flats, which when dry, are easy, but caution must be used if they are wet, as the mud is slick and deep during those times and you can easily get stuck.
