The Vienna Woods Trail climbs along the spine of a ridge that was once called the Devil’s Backbone. Past 'The Pinnacle', from which views of Vienna and the McGaffey Mountains can be enjoyed from a stone bench, the trail drops through a mixed hardwood forest, and loops through a stand of mature hemlock, passing a vernal pool and several areas of exposed bedrock on the Hemlock Loop. For more experienced hikers, the steep Pinnacle Access Trail heads uphill back to the parking lot.
Please respect the landowners’ request that public access be limited to areas outside the homestead. Due to trail limitations, horseback riding, mountain biking, and
