Stewarts Knob Trail
Supposedly there is a 1.2-mile one-way hikers-only trail from the Stewarts Knob Overlook, and while there is a trail, nothing indicates its name. There is, however, a trail open to horseback riders, but hikers can use it as well. The trail runs from the overlook for approximately 5 miles before ending at the Roanoke River.
Chestnut Ridge Trail
This 5.4 mile loop trail runs along Mill Mountain Parkway and can be accessed from the Chestnut Ridge Parking Area. Turn off of the Blue Ridge Parkway near MP 120.5 and onto Mill Mountain Parkway. This is rated as Moderate in difficulty.
