Goshen and Little North Mountain Wildlife Management Area Updated:05/2023

Goshen and Little North Mountain are primarily forested, being dominated by upland hardwoods. Elevations on the area range from 1,326 to 3,400 feet. The steepest topography is on the Goshen parcel. It is here, also, that a particularly unique habitat, the "Meadow Ground" is located, providing a valuable, native herbaceous habitat. The Little North Mountain parcel lies in both Augusta and Rockbridge Counties. The narrow configuration follows the ridge of the mountain for which it's named. Three major mountains, Bratton, Forge, and Hogback make up the Goshen parcel.
