A typical, gravel road access to the Appalachian Trail that is close to the Pedlar (Lynchburg) Reservoir. There is a swing bridge right beside the road crossing that crosses the creek that drains from the reservoir. Years ago the AT used to cross the spillway right beside the reservoir and the hence, the views were amazing (I also thought it was just a really unique experience even though it wasn’t single trail, in the purist view). When the AT was rerouted away from the spillway, you lost these views and so, if you really want to get a better view of the reservoir from the trail, you need to cross the swing bridge and follow the trail for about a quarter to half-mile. When traveling southbound on the AT, this road crossing is the last crossing until you cross another gravel road at Robinson Gap. When traveling northbound on the AT, the trail follows the contour of the reservoir and to the far end and eventually crosses swapping camp road before entering the brown mtn area before climbing up to Long Mtn Wayside at Rt. 60. Overall, this is an easy to find AT access point even though its closest paved road is Rt. 60 at approx.. 7 miles away.
beautiful country and awesome views.
