Hiking

Hiking
Swift Run Gap - closest entrance to Skyline Drive/Appalachian Trail (30mins)
Old Rag Area - about 45-50 mins away
Exclusive: You can drive about one mile up the road (crossing 2 bridges), and park in the grassy, level area on either side of a small, residential bridge ("Vat Run"). It is a short walk up the road and across the creek to access the hike in the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area
More Info Coming Soon: You can technically access the Pocosin Hollow Trailhead, just a 1.5 mile walk up the private road that adjoins the property. I have gotten notice that the individual who owns the property at the access point to the National Forest believes it is not public access, which it is. We are working on this!
Fishing

You can fish on the property, and up and down the river wherever there are no "No Trespassing" signs.
