Confederate Breastworks Trail (off Rt. 250)  .5 mile.  Easy

Learn about the historic events of April 1862 through the letters of Captain Shepherd Pryor, a member of the 12th Georgia Regiment as you hike the half mile loop around Fort Edward Johnson.  Or you may wish to hike along the gently rolling Shenandoah Mountain Trail for a mile or two and return by the same trail.  Excellent birding along the crest of Shenandoah Mountain.
​
Trailhead is at: Confederate Breastworks on Rt. 250 on the crest of Shenandoah Mountain.  Find on Google Maps:
