Family Friendly This trail can be used as a short connector from the campground to other trails in the Loft Mountain Campground area.

Description

This trail starts off of the Frazier Discovery Trailhead across from the Loft Mountain Wayside which sells food, groceries, and gas. The trail heads south, paralleling Loft Mountain Road and climbing steadily until it reaches the Loft Mountain Camp Store. It then crosses the road and continues a bit further on until ending at the northeast side of the campground itself.

This trail is too close to the road to give you a sense of the back-country beauty of Shenandoah, and is best used as an access trail to the campground, camp store, and other trails in the vicinity.
