Fortney Loop Trail #418

The Fortney Loop Trail is well marked and begins in the Morris Hill Campground next to campsite 33. Traveling counter-clockwise, it winds down Morris Hill for approximately 1.0 mile, around the side of the lake for nearly 1.3 miles, and finally, back up the hill to the campground for another 0.7 of a mile. Fortney Loop Trail involves steep climbs and is closed to motorized vehicles and horses. For those who do not wish to climb back up the hill to the campground, a short walk at the bottom of Morris Hill through tall grass will take you out to the Fortney Boat Ramp. A short 0.27 mile spur, Cove Trail, intersects with Fortney Loop Trail and takes you down to Lake Moomaw.
