Rockfish to Reeds: TRAIL SECTIONS, MILEAGE, FEATURES & LANDMARKS

Project in Progress!!

The goal is to have a page for every trail section with pictures and/or descriptions of all the key features/landmarks on that section ..... and features that the section maintainers have become familiar with and named. Almost everyone knows landmarks such as Cedar Cliffs or Battery Cliffs, but how about Charlotte's Rock or Long Rock, perhaps Picnic Rock, the Kool-Aid & K Steps, MacDougall Steps, Yellow Jacket Ridge?

Speaking of pictures, if you are a section maintainer and have pictures of places 'near and dear' to your heart on your section or any of the places listed below, send them to rockfishtoreeds@gmail.com so they can be posted to the trail section page. If you are not a section maintainer and have interesting pictures from a particular section (flowers, wildlife, interesting trees, rocks - anything!), send it on and that can go on the page as well.

Key: Section # - (mileage) Start of Section to End of Section going North to South

AT Sections between Rockfish Gap & Reeds Gap (from North to South)

Note: Sections that are vacant & need a maintainer will be in Red - as of May 2013, none are currently vacant! If you are interested in helping a section maintainer or co-maintaining, contact the Trail Maintenance Supervisor at:
