Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail

The Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail region stretches from Scott County, where a reconstructed blockhouse shows how settlers joined together and sheltered at forts and blockhouses on their way west, to Cumberland Gap, where you can stand on a Pinnacle and see three states stretched before you.

 

This part of Southwest Virginia stretches along Route 58 through verdant valleys and past two state parks. Natural Tunnel and Wilderness Road, culminating at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Recreational opportunities abound with fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, exploring caves and cliffs, and enjoying the rich history and abundant wildlife of the region.
