Trail Overview
Near the town of New Castle, VA, are the remnants of many small mining towns. This route passes by the Fenwick Mines area, which has a small recreation day-use area and hiking trails. The route runs along the top of a ridgeline with sweeping east and west views of the area. The surface is mostly natural rock with many mud holes of varying depth. There are a few dispersed camping areas along the route. The area is crisscrossed by other forestry routes leading to other abandoned mining areas. Cell service in the area is very spotty.
Difficulty
Mostly natural rocky / dirt surface with varying depth mud / water holes.
