Beginning on a wooded ridgetop, riders can descend to follow the pristine Dale Hollow Shoreline. Seven loops provide for cutbacks to shorten or lengthen the trail. Eagles Bluff Overlook provides for one of the most spectacular vistas of Dale Hollow Lake. Hikers are welcome. A corral, storm shelter, and stalls are available. Free primitive camping permit required for overnight stays. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited and coggins papers required. Follow the signs toward Holly Creek Marina and Red Oak Ridge.
August of 1999, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Dale Hollow was awarded $43,764 in grant dollars as part of the Recreation Trails Program (RTP). Funding for this grant award is provided through the Federal Recreation Trails Program under the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century. As part of the grant, 20% matching funds will be committed with 5% of the total project coming from non-federal sources. In partnership with the local Clay County Government and Parks and Recreation Board, Red Oak Ridge trail will undergo an extensive renovation to improve access, retard erosion, provide for drainage, control overuse areas, enhance signage and provide additional facilities. All projected improvements were completed on September 30, 2002!
