The Forest Service has trailhead parking for horse trailers at Forest
Service Road 616 at Mullins Pond and also at Counts Cabin approximately 1
mile east of Blowing Rock on State Route 611. The Forest Service has a
volunteer agreement with the Cumberland Mountain Trail Riding Club in
Clintwood, Virginia to assist in the maintenance of this trail. The trail
club holds several rides each year with as many as 150 riders participating
in each ride.
Trail Beginning: Trail begins at Pound Gap, Virginia on Forest Service
Road 201.
Trail Ending: Trail comes down from Pinnacle Rock to the Breaks
Interstate Park.
Requires map reading skill and challenge to travel. Hikers and horseback
riders are encouraged to carry water. Safety is also a concern because the
trail is steep and rocky and there are large rock outcrops along the trail.
Directions:
Access points to the trail exist off U.S. 23 at Pound Gap, and State
Route 630 in Wise. Access points in Dickenson County are off Forest Service
road 616 and State route 611. There are at least 7 access points to the
trail off State Routes 630 and 611.
