When ATVing in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest, you are in for a very good time.
These forests are made up of about 1.8 million acres, that stretches over 350 miles.They go from as far north to the Kentucky border, to as far southwest to Virginia. All of this is managed by the forest service, which is an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture.
All of these trails have their own names with their own personality.Some of these trails are, the Massanutten Mountain and Elizabeth Furnace and the Edinburg Gap on the Lee Ranger District. The Reddish Knob and Flagpole Knob trails on the Dry River Ranger District, which is great for ATVing.
These forests offer ATVers, miles and miles of roads and trails of all kinds of terrain and hills. You can ride your ATV on all of them, unless marked otherwise. These trails will give you all that you are looking for when riding your ATV. The trails can become narrow or very steep, with lots of rock and plenty of natural debris. This wonderful place is open all year to you, but there are a few things you must keep in mind.
You will be sharing these fast areas with others, whether human or animal. Be on the look out and make sure you share the trails safely.
Stay on the trails. You have plenty of land in which to run your ATV, so don't trespass on private property or go trailblazing which simply isn't allowed.
Most importantly, if you plan on taking a ride on your ATV during the third Saturday in November through the first Sunday in December, remember, this is open hunting season. Make sure you have the right equipment, like wear the color orange, have a whistle, and make noises, so the hunters can hear you.
