TRAIL MARKINGS

Rectangular paint blazes on trees at approximate adult eyeball height identify the correct trail paths. A double blaze either indicates a trail intersection or a sharp change in direction.

This trail provides access to the Smith Mountain fire tower that is the highlight of the trail. It's a good workout and provides great views of the lake.

WARNING: This trail is spectacular for its views and rock formations, but is also the most difficult and potentially dangerous. At times the trail goes along sheer cliffs where a single misstep could have dire consequences. Do not attempt this trail unless you are sure-footed and in better than average physical condition. This is NOT a trail for small or unruly kids.

Pine forest with great hardwood bottoms. Great views of Lake Martin with lake access.
