Description
Parking can be found at the northern trailhead at the Elizabeth Furnace Recreation Area. There is no parking at the southern trailhead, off Panhandle Road - US613. This is a rocky trail that only gets rockier and steeper as you get closer to the Massanutten Trail. Look out for poison ivy along stretches of the trail.
