Need to Know

Be aware that motor vehicle traffic--although light--is permitted along all sections of this road. Advise to wear blaze orange during hunting season.

Description

Government Rd begins as VA State Route 757 (SR 757). Turn off US Hwy 58 southbound at Damascus Brewery and follow for ~1.2 mi past Damascus Middle School where the road turns to gravel. Parking can maybe fit three cars at the 'trailhead' of National Forest Service Rd 32 (NFSR 32) next to some private property.

Near the six-mile mark descending towards the community of Offset, TN, the road turns to pavement. Near the 6.5-mile mark, SR 757 ends as it intersects with SR 710. Follow Government Rd left at that intersection (I believe this is technically where it turns into Government Rd No 2). After about a mile, it turns back into gravel until it leaves the National Forest and becomes Wyatt Hollow Rd.
