Southern Gap Outdoor Offers Something For Everyone
NOTE: If you are traveling to our location from the west, we wanted to alert you to the opening of the new road on the gap: coming from the west, travel on Rt. 460 East out of Pikeville, Ky., to the intersection with Rt. 80 east. Turn right and follow Rt. 80 east to KY Rt. 3174 (watch for a left turn after the DoubleKwik, after you go under the new bridge being constructed). Follow that road as it turns into Rt. 460 east crossing into Virginia. As you get closer to Southern Gap, you will see a flashing sign alerting you to a detour and telling you all vehicles must turn right. Turn right at that intersection and you will be on Rt. 744. Follow it for 1.5 miles to the entrance of Southern Gap Outdoor Adventure, turn right and you're here!
