VAT: The Pedlar River Loop

The Pedlar River Loop takes you off of the main Virginia Adventure Trail route and guides you along 54 miles of some of the lower George Washington National Forests best seasonal trails! When creating the VAT, some great trails had to be omitted, due to their seasonal closures, and the Pedlar River Loop brings a few of them into the VAT trail system! Enchanted Creek, Hog Camp, and Coon Bridge can now be traveled by those riding the VAT (seasonal closures permitting)! The Pedlar River Loop includes a handful of good campsites, so the weary VAT traveler has some additional options for stopping for the night. The Pedlar River Loop is best traveled in the summer and fall, due to seasonal trail closures. Please consult the Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Map for specific closure dates.
