From Austinville to Shot Tower Historical Park is a 3.6 mile, easy, slight downhill gradient with parking available at the park. The trail runs close to the river along this section which is characterized by the limestone outcroppings along the water's edge. This section of trail features one of only two tunnels along the route from Pulaski to Galax. Be sure to explore Shot Tower Historical Park while in the area.
