THE GHOSTS OF FURNACE MOUNTAIN

You will quickly come up to a stream crossing of Madison Run that you can rock-hop across. These rocks are sturdy, but can be slick in some spots, so be careful. After crossing Madison Run, the trail turns right and parallels the stream for a short distance. Then, the trail begins climbing up the mountain.

Adam takes in the view of the valley. Near this location stood Madison Hall Estate. We had debated about bringing Wookie on this trip. He would have loved most of the hike, but would have hated crossing Madison Run. He really wants to avoid water on the trail, so I know I would have had to carry him with his claws digging in to me.

Hiking this trail in the winter gives you views throughout a good portion of the hike. When the leaves come out, you will have more obstructed views except from the talus slope and the rock outcropping at the summit. We were excited at how great the views were from the summit. Adam and I had Friday off work, so we decided to hit the trail for a morning hike. Luckily, I happened to stumble across a route up Furnace Mountain with a trailhead located about fifteen minutes from our house. My ideal length for a day hike is still miles. You can see the valley below through the trees for much of the hike up.

Our trip up Furnace Mountain started off cloudy, and while the clouds thinned out somewhat during the course of the morning, it stayed mostly overcast. That was a bit of a shame, because the views all along the trail are really nice. The trail was extremely rocky most of the way, and even crossed a neat talus slope. I imagine that this mountain was once towering and majestic, but over the ages, the rocky summit crumbled and rolled down the lower slopes.

The climb uphill was steady, but not difficult. The most challenging part was the footing — lots of football-sized, unevenly seated rocks. The Furnace Mountain summit trail is a half mile dog leg off the main trail. Along this segment, we passed a campsite with a well-used fire ring. Shortly after the campsite, the trail took a short downhill to a rocky outcropping overlooking the park and the Shenandoah Valley.

We could see Massanutten mountain in one direction and a distant snip of Skyline Drive in the opposite direction. In early March, everything is still barren and brown. The dull color paired with the clouds took a little of the luster off the overlook, but it was still very nice. Christine enjoys the summit. Adam on the rocking outcropping. As you can see the rock is very rugged and jumbled. After hanging out a short while, we headed back down the trail. We made it back to our car in less than half time time it took us to climb up. We practically jogged the whole way down!

We got there… shakes were on the menu… but the stupid machine was out of order. From Elkton, VA follow South.

Furnace Mountain Trail - Virginia | AllTrails

While we enjoyed this part of the hike, the Blackrock Summit was much more spectacular and gives you much more bang for your effort. Still, it's less crowded than Blackrock and gives you a great workout. Nice trail with a rock on the summit! Had service on the path which is always nice. Fun hike - challenging for me but doable! Great day- had lizard and bear action. Drank all my water at the top but the trip down was fast. I enjoyed the trail and summit very much.

I completed it twice even. It gets rocky at points but my senior dog and I managed just fine. Hiked this today and it was cloudy and cool! Great hike, though it is a bit rocky! I had never hiked before and this was definitely a good start! Would recommend following the trail marks from Shenandoah, this park map isn't accurate. Also parking was a little confusing, it is in front of a chained-off private property. Overall loved it, definitely will go back.

I've edited the description to better reflect the facts: Furnace Mountain is so named because of the Mt. Vernon Furnace located on Madison Run not to be confused with the one in PA which was used to process iron ore from circa Great technical trail on the left about a mile in. I ran 4 miles up hill then 4 miles back down the same trail due to a bear. Fitbit says floors. Mile 2 to 3 is majority rocks.

Great run plenty of snakes, poison ivy, only 1 bear. Definitely go back again for a for good technical rock running. A pretty intense climb up, but well worth it!! It's rocky so make sure you have your hiking boots on. Tough hike going up as it's pretty steep all the way up. If you take the spur trail it will take you to the summit of Furnace Mountain which is a beautiful sight especially in the fall.

I've been up it three times so far and it's the trail I'm using to get back into shape. I've hiked this one three times. You can start this hike from two points. Travel up the Madison fire road and cross the stream at the trail head. Big rocks across the stream so you shouldn't get your feet wet. The hill is fairly steep and rugged and not much of a view at the top but there is a spur trail to an over look that is well worth the effort. From the top it's a fairly flat walk to Skyline drive where you can get on the AT, head north and get on the Austin Mt.
