From Fries Junction to Fries is a 5.5 mile, easy, slight uphill gradient with trail access near State Route 721 on the Fries Branch or from parking areas at Byllesby Dam or Gambetta. The Fries branch was an extension of the line from Pulaski, built to service the textile mills erected in Fries at the beginning of the 20th century. The trail follows the New River and features six smaller bridges over small creeks and tributaries.
