Wise County Virginia Hiking Trails

Cumberland Mountain Trail

George Washington and Jefferson National Forests

Many scenic overlooks are located along the 25.7 mile Cumberland Mountain Trail in the form of natural openings and large rock outcrops. These overlooks provide views of Virginia and Kentucky. 

The Forest Service has trailhead parking for horse trailers at Forest Service Road 616 at Mullins Pond and also at Counts Cabin approximately 1 mile east of Blowing Rock on State Route 611.

Cumberland Mountain Trail begins at Pound Gap, Virginia on Forest Service Road 201 with it's other end coming down from Pinnacle Rock to the Breaks Interstate Park.

Cumberland Mountain Trail is rated Strenuous and requires map reading skill and challenge to travel. Hikers and horseback riders are encouraged to carry water. Safety is also a concern because the trail is steep and rocky and there are large rock outcrops along the trail.

Directions:

Access points to the trail exist off U.S. 23 at Pound Gap, and State Route 630 in Wise. Access points in Dickenson County are off Forest Service road 616 and State route 611. There are at least 7 access points to the trail off State Routes 630 and 611.
