Bake Oven Knob/ Bear Rocks
Directions:
From campus take Rt. 22 west to Rt. 78 west.
Exit on Rt. 100 north at Fogelsville.
Take Rt. 100 North to the intersection of Rt. 309
and make a right onto Rt. 309 South.
Make a left onto Bake Oven Road after about 1/4mi. Follow Bake Oven Road
to the dirt road that leads up the mountain. The parking lot will be on
the right side at the top of the mountain. The trail head is in the southeast
corner of the lot. (Bear Rocks trail head is across the road - about a half hour hike to Bear Rocks).
Notes: The trail
to Bake Oven Knob is a short ascent from the parking lot, but does offer
some rugged terrain. Hiking shoes are recommended. The knob offers spectacular
views to the east and south and the AT provides good hikes in both directions.
