Fort Lewis Mountain
4.2 miles, strenuous terrain
6 miles from the Orange Market, no carpool fee
Trailhead is on Bradshaw Rd, 4 miles from VA-311
Start from Havens Wildlife Management Area on Bradshaw Rd,
VA-622. This out and back hike crosses
Mason's Creek before ascending Fort Lewis Mountain. The trail itself begins
mildly, meandering a little not far from the creek, but then takes off straight
up the mountainside, with angles rivaling the steepest parts of the Andy Lane
Trail, and for much longer stretches. Maybe the positive side of that is that
you're at the top in 2.1 miles. There
are limited views from the summit.
