George Washington National forest has many trails.
Please note that here in VA, most 6/8 wheelers are classified as ORV or OHV, NOT ATVs. So basically you are out on the trails riding with the Jeep / Bronco / Blazer crowds. Tasker's gap has been the only one I've visited thus far. If you go, you better like rocks!!

I've not yet been to the trails, but Tasker's Gap looks like the most likely one for six wheelers. I've talked to the officer in charge of the trails in the national forest, and he described the "ATV" trails as too narrow and the turns too tight for any of the six wheeled vehicles. I asked for the chance to prove him wrong, and he seemed open to the idea, but I never persued it any further. I know from woods experience around my own place, that if an Attex will fit between the trees, you can make most any switchback. I assume the same is true for any of the shorter wheelbase 6x6es.
If you hear of any other sites in the VA area that are promising, please post them!
Thanks
