VFW Road

Trail Overview

Part of the Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area trail system. A permit is not required to access this lake trail, only to fish. Access is open year-round and restricted to daylight hours only (closed dusk to dawn). The VFW Lake Track is a short gravel access route that follows the shoreline of VFW Lake through mixed hardwood forest within Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area. The surface is primarily compacted gravel and dirt, with gentle curves and minimal elevation change. The route is suitable for stock 4x4 vehicles in dry conditions, though leaf cover and damp ground may create slick sections after rainfall. The track provides access to VFW Lake, a managed fishing and day-use area that includes a staffed wildlife management office, a handicapped-accessible portable restroom, and several picnic tables and shoreline seating areas. Motorized personal watercraft are not permitted on the lake, while paddle craft are allowed. Cell service is limited to nonexistent, and shared use with anglers, paddlers, hikers, and wildlife management personnel should be expected. Drivers should proceed at low speeds near pedestrian areas and along the lake edge.
