DIRECTIONS
From US Alternate Hwy. 58, take VA Route 72 south toward Fort Black-
more. In Dungannon, Route 72 merges with VA Route 65. Just before they sep-
arate in Fort Blackmore, take VA Route 619 to the right.
Alternatively, you can take US Hwy. 23/US Hwy. 58/US Hwy. 421 (Daniel
Boone Heritage Hwy.) toward Gate City. In Gate City, continue going straight as
the road becomes East Jackson Street and, ultimately, VA Route 71. Head east
on Route 71 for a little over a mile. From here, take VA Route 72 to the left to-
ward Fort Blackmore. Shortly after VA Route 65 and VA Route 72 merge, turn
left onto VA Route 619.
Once on Route 619, follow VA Route 653 for a short segment, and when
they break, look for the
DEVILS FORK
sign where Route 619 takes a sharp left
and becomes Forest Road 619 (there is no street sign). Travel over the one-
lane bridge and turn left just before the abandoned white house. Follow this un-
marked dirt road to the end, where you will find parking for the trail. The road
to the parking lot is very rutted and may not be accessible by all vehicles. You
will pass the trailhead on your right just before you reach the parking lot; there
are also stairs up to the trail from the parking lot.
