Hike Info:

Popular, well maintained dirt path. Be aware it is common to see mountain bikers on the trail.

The Bell Rock Pathway connects two trailheads along route 179. One is to the south of Bell Rock and the other is to the north. The pathway is very easy and is open to hikers, mountain bikers and horses. So if you are walking, be alert.

I did a portion of this pathway as I hiked a loop around Bell Rock. It was about 7am, a perfect time to beat the heat and people. It is a popular trail because of the easy path and easy access from Route 179. From the pathway, you have access to the Bell Rock Vista Trail and the Courthouse Loop Trail.
