Cow Camp starts at a picnic table area at the Lexington Turnpike and is directly next to the Appalachian Trail. The road can be traveled in either direction, but traveling uphill is preferred. The road is rougher than its neighboring trails, starting as hardpacked native soil mixed with rocks and getting rockier and more eroded as you climb in elevation. It is mostly one vehicle width wide with little passing. Anticipate pinstriping. While the road is non-technical, drivers may wish to use four-wheel drive with low gearing on the steeper grades. No dispersed camping is found along the trail.
