Wagon Road Gap Trail #134
0.7 mi - Difficult - This is a short but steep trail that provides a nice connection between the South Mills River Trail (#133) and the Turkeypen Gap Trail (#322). Since it climbs a north-facing slope, it remains damp year round. Because of this, the vegetation is lush with ferns, mosses and a wide variety of wildflowers. You will also see large hardwoods including oak, hickory, and red maple. Rhododendrons are large and grow lushly near the top of the trail. At the end of the trail, private property borders the Turkey Pen Gap Trail. Please respect this private land and its owners by staying on the trail.
