Skyline Drive
Limberlost Trail, VA

The Limberlost Trail is the park's only accessible trail, with a crushed greenstone walkway, wooden boardwalk, a bridge and many benches. The trail as originally laid out to permit visitors to view beautiful stands of hemlocks. Unfortunately an invasive foreign pest, the hemlock woolly adelgid, has had devastating effects on the hemlocks. The Limberlost Trail now serves as an example of the consequences of this particular invasive species and the regeneration of a forest. June is the best time to view the impressive heights of the mountain laurel.
