About Gobbler's Knob Trail
The Gobblers Knob Trail begins with a walk up the closed portion of Westside Road to Round Pass, then follows a trail to Lake George, a small mountain lake on the northwest shoulder of Mount Wow. From Lake George the route continues and becomes steeper as it climbs to Gobblers Knob Lookout, a historic fire lookout. The trail provides access to the Lake George wilderness camp (backcountry permits required) and offers mountain vistas from the lookout. Note that bikes may be used on the closed road up to Round Pass but are not allowed on the trails.
