The Limberlost Trail is flat and even wheelchair accessible, making it a great choice for families, seniors, or others who don’t feel comfortable handling some of the more tough hiking terrain in Virginia. This 1.3-mile loop in Shenandoah National Park was once home to ancient, old growth hemlock trees, which unfortunately were killed in the 1990s by an invasive insect, hence the trail’s name. But despite the loss of these beautiful trees, Limberlost Trail is still beautiful, with a growing and changing ecosystem of trees, fields, and wildlife. The Limberlost Trail is a great place to get out of the car and stretch your legs after driving for so long through the park.
