Virtual Tour: Locust Gap Trail

The Locust Gap Trail is a 1.45 mile moderate multi-use trail that connects Blue Suck Falls trail to Stony Run Trail and is also accessible from the Beards Gap Hollow Trail. This trail passes through the wooded environment that typifies this park and is fairly flat with little change in elevation. The Locust Gap Trail is an excellent choice for small groups or family hikes.
