Piney Knob Trails
Piney Knob Trails...a beautiful trip around the 700+ acre Murphy Watershed property.
In 2010, we started working to make this beautiful watershed property on Fain Mountain accessible to the general public. To date, 13.5 miles of trails are open and the entry road has been paved and is accessible to all vehicles.
