Need to Know

This is a warm weather ride. There is only 1 creek crossing on Cowbell Hollow but several on Jennings Creek Trail.

Description

This is probably the best piece of singletrack in the Round Knob/Old Forge area. Starting across from the picnic shelter on Round Knob, make a small descent then a short climb as you pass Little Jennings Creek Trail. From the top, there is a nice tight sidehill descent down to Jennings Creek Trail #21. At 1.6 miles, just before the junction with Jennings Creek Trail #21 and Poplar Cove, there is a small creek crossing.
