Cowans Gap State
Park

This old road climbs to the top of Cove Mountain, passed the park’s
landslide interpretive exhibit, the old Civilian Conservation Corps camp
incinerator and the park overlook. Cresting Cove Mountain, you enter state
forest land and can walk down to the intersection of Horseshoe Trail or to
the boundary of the state forest before retracing your walk to the park.
Please respect private property by not following the old road onto private
ground.
