Just outside the sleepy town of Union Springs lies the main thoroughfare up to the famous and well-traveled Flagpole Knob. This trail will meander through the lush vegetation of the George Washington National Forest before you approach the first switchback. What starts as a leisurely Sunday drive will become a steep, unforgiving climb up to a ridge where you feel like you are on top of the world. Like most of the trails in this area, the foliage will put on quite the show in the Autumn months. If you are looking for an alternate route up to Flagpole Knob, this trail is a great option, but you will have to contend with Stone Camp to connect the two trails.
