Beartown Wilderness, Protected wilderness in Virginia, United States.
The wilderness spans 5,613 acres across the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, with elevations ranging from 2,400 to 4,800 feet.
The Virginia Wilderness Act of 1984 established this protected area using existing National Forest lands to maintain its natural characteristics.
The wilderness preserves numerous ecological communities, including old-growth forests of oak, hickory, spruce, and yellow birch across different elevation zones.
Visitors can access the wilderness through multiple entry points, including the Roaring Fork Trail and sections of the Appalachian Trail bordering the area.
The land contains specific natural features such as sphagnum bogs, fast-flowing streams, and northern forest species typically found in more northern regions.
