Goshen and Little North Mountain are primarily forested, being dominated by upland hardwoods. Elevations on the area range from 1,326 to 3,400 feet. The steepest topography is on the Goshen parcel. It is here, also, that a particularly unique habitat, the “Meadow Ground” is located, providing a valuable, native herbaceous habitat. The Little North Mountain parcel lies in both Augusta and Rockbridge Counties. The narrow configuration follows the ridge of the mountain for which it’s named. Three major mountains, Bratton, Forge, and Hogback make up the Goshen parcel.
Many parking areas are open seasonally for hunting access, however, the main lot appears to be open year round.
Directions
The southern portion of the area is 12 miles west of Lexington via state route 39 or I-64. The northern portion of the area is ten miles west of Staunton via state routes 254 and 42. See the map for further detail.
