Length: 26.0 mile loop
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous
The Wild Oak National Recreation Trail is a 26-mile loop following
ridgetops and circling the headwaters of the North River. Each of its
three sections offers a vigorous but scenic day hike or it can provide the
backpacker a nice multiple day loop. Elevations range from a low of 1,600
feet at North River Gap to 4,351 feet on Little Bald Knob, offering nice
vistas and wildlife viewing opportunities.
