Land Owner
Multi use ridgetop trail within Tygart State Forest follows the border around a hardwood tree reforestation project. During the warm season users need to be prepared for tick and poison ivy encounters. The trail provides some great overlooks, especially during the fall and winter months. Avoid this 3.6-mile trail or wear blaze orange during designated hunting seasons. Orange blazes mark trail.
Trail has been recently re-blazed.
