Description

Once an area attraction, Tater Knob Fire Tower is now closed due to--ironically--a fire. However, this trail remains, and it allows runners to follow a loop on the south side of the ridge when combined with the Crossover Trail (107). There's a steep descent to the valley floor from Zilpo Scenic Byway that passes the Tater Knob Fire Tower.

As of spring 2017, it's in need of some maintenance (downed trees).
