Sugarloaf Mountain

History: At different times, Union and Confederate signalmen were posted atop the mountain to watch the opposing army. Injured soldiers received medical attention in a log cabin that still stands at the mountain's base.

More to Explore: Spectacular views of Sugarloaf and the Blue Ridge Mountains are provided to visitors who also enjoy hiking and horseback riding along miles of mountain trails and picnicking at the overlooks.
