Lake Moomaw Trails

JERRY’S RUN TRAIL

The 3.0 mile trail follows Jerry’s Run, crossing it at least eight times. The first 1.3 miles is a four-wheel drive road. After that, the trail is not drivable. Some impressive rock formations along the way make this an enjoyable and not too strenuous hike.

McALLISTER FIELDS TRAIL

McAllister Fields Trail begins at a Forest Service gate on top of Brushy Mountain. The 1.6 mile trail is not blazed but is easy to follow along an old roadbed. The trail heads toward a knob, passing through several old clearcuts, and offering views of the valleys to the east and west. The eastern side of the mountain is very steep in places, and offers unobstructed views of Peter’s Mountain and the valley below.
