The Appalachian Trail crosses the gap. The {{convert|1444|ft|m}} gap once served as a thoroughfare between Round Hill, the former terminus of the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad in western Loudoun, and the resort communities of Shannondale and Mountain Mission in Jefferson County via the Wilson Gap Road. The resorts fell victim to the Great Depression and the upper reaches of Wilson Gap Road became impassable to vehicular traffic by the outbreak of World War II.[2] Though no longer maintained as a public road, the old road bed can still be found by the discerning hiker.
