Little Dry Run Wilderness

Little Dry Run Wilderness is located on the east end of the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, in Wythe County in southwest Virginia. It ranges in elevation from 2,440 feet along Little Dry Run at the northeast boundary to 3,614 feet near the center of the area. The vegetation is a typical hardwood community with oaks and hickories, and some yellow pines on the warmer exposures. Wildlife in the area is diverse, and Little Dry Run is a native trout stream. Access centers along one trail, the Little Dry Run Trail, of which about three miles lies within the Wilderness. Designated in 1984 and managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area of the George Washington & Jefferson National Forests.
