Fridley Gap in the George Washington National Forest has a little bit of everything. From gentle mountain streams, to ridge climbs and a swimming hole which is perfect on a hot summer day half a mile from the parking area , this hike has it all. Located at the southern end of the Massanutten range just east of Harrisonburg Virginia the hike is secluded. We’ll camp near the swimming hole and weather permitting, even consider dipping our toes in the water, but remember this is cold mountain water anytime of the year!

All trip details including equipment list, meetup spot and driving directions will be provided by email the week before the trip. WWO has a limited amount of backpacking equipment to lend as a member benefit.
