Last Known Status Open
DESCRIPTION

This area offers a 10 mile long narrow and rocky 4x4 trail loop that offers scenic mountain views of Second Mountain and the City of Harrisonburg. The trail is marked with orange blazes and primitive camping is permitted alongside the trail but not at the trailhead.

RVs and long campers are not advised due to the main entrance road (FDR 72) being very narrow with few turnouts and limited parking at the staging area. The trail is open year-round and is very popular with Jeeps and ATVs.
