Devil’s Backbone State Forest Updated:03/2022

Devil’s Backbone State Forest covers 705.5 acres in Shenandoah County. Management focuses on demonstration of scientific forest management, applied forest research, development of diverse wildlife habitat, watershed protection, forest management to develop diverse timber stands that support biological diversity, and passive outdoor recreation.

The ridge on the top of the state forest is approximately 7,000 feet in length and 180 feet wide. The terrain in this stand is quite rough due to the 35% to 70% slopes, rock outcrops, and heavy underbrush. The top of the mountain is narrow in most places; however, broad flats occur periodically along its summit. Several intermittent and perennial streams exist on the property.
