I was looking at the Google Map satellite images and found a series of roads west of Lake Moomaw. All of the roads are not named except one. Big Lick Road. That goes from road Rucker Gap Rd (Rte781)(right on the border of VA and WV) all the way to Lake Moomaw. On the way it intertwines with allot of unnamed roads that go through mountain ridges and valleys. One of those roads loop is 6 miles.
I looked at the GWNF maps, searched for it online and can't find anything about it. Does anyone know anything about this road or how can i find out about it?
BTW... Lake Moomaw supposed to have good fishing. Could be a good place for an even in this region.

Great fishing out there, some VA state records too! If we ever go down I'll bring my 2009 G3 1860CCJ jet boat. My buddy is obsessed with with that lake so we go a few times a year anyways. Definitely not good for a large event maybe two three trucks at most. There are lots of trails out there, most of which end up at a gate marked private property unfortunately. Art please take this the right way...buy a gazetteer get your GPS and a few sangwiches and hit the road....your giving away all my favorite fishing spots online to the world:giggle: Fisherman rule #1 You are not supposed to post up the great spots. Fisherman rule #2 Always lie and mislead other fisherman! Fisherman rule #3 Refer to rule #1

:cheers:

Here's a link to that site I mentioned earlier about trying to match up 4x trails with fishing spots. The gentleman, Steve Moore, who wrote this blog and subsequent fishing books for the DMV area recently moved to NC. I'm sure there's something we can find and perhaps find something that hasn't been written about or explored yet...enjoy!

Touche' well played sir! Since you don't like fishing-I can now take you to some good spots, anytime BTW Art. I do know a couple good trails in nearby Monongahela natl' Forrest by that are really nice, some with a few camping spots and swimming holes. Keep up the good work, just remember though-you cant wheel while stuck in your office looking at sat photos (bazinga!).
