Camp Branch Trail
Trail: .75 mile (1.5 miles out and back)
Degree of difficulty: Moderate
Blaze: Silver
The Camp Branch Trail is a fantastic trail for hikers who want to experience the unique scenery and rock formations of Breaks Interstate Park. The trail offers a secluded and peaceful hike, with the gentle burbling of Camp Branch Creek providing a soothing soundtrack for hikers.
Hikers will have the opportunity to view the canyon from river level and enjoy a breathtaking view of the Towers formation high above when they reach the banks of the Russell Fork. The trail is fairly easy and gentle for the first section but becomes steep and rocky for the last 1/4 mile as it descends to the Russell Fork.
To access the Camp Branch Trail, hikers should take Garden Hole Road, which is located approximately one mile past the main park entrance on Route 80 going towards Haysi, Virginia.
