Peters Mill Run and Taskers Gap is the largest OHV trail system in Virginia, offering 36 miles of rugged, rocky trails in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. The system is comprised of two distinct but connected areas: Peters Mill Run is a moderately difficult trail suitable for all OHVs, including Jeeps and full-size 4x4s. Taskers Gap is a network of more challenging, narrow, and rocky loops best suited for vehicles under 50 inches wide, such as dirt bikes, ATVs, and sport UTVs. A permit is required and must be purchased in advance from a local vendor, as it is not sold at the trailheads. Please note: The entire trail system is closed to all motorized traffic from the first Monday in January through March. Primitive camping with direct trail access is available at the nearby Little Fort Campground.Dirt Bike Trail System
