Overview

A short drive from Harrisonburg, the North River Ranger District of the George Washington National Forest offers a veritable maze of trails for the offroad enthusiast. Old Mans Run Forest is very much a trail in two parts. You start with a long, open climb of 1200 feet with splendid views across the mountains and valleys. Then, the forest closes in on you with a tranquil atmosphere that encapsulates the soul as you inhale the earthy scent of pine needles. The peace is only disturbed by the gentle sounds of a mountain stream's tranquil melody. Don't miss the mossy streamside campsite at the end of the trail.
