I've done the vast majority of my hiking in north-central PA, and even after moving away I keep going back because of the incredible trail network. It's always possible to put together an worthwhile loop of any distance you want, from 2-200 miles (attached screenshot of my day hikes in the area as evidence).
I'd like to break my pattern and explore more areas, particularly Virginia. Any specific forest/area in VA (or the rest of the Mid Atlantic) with a comparably dense and extensive trail network?

Looks like the overwhelming consensus (of me) agrees that PA had the best trail network in the region.

The George Washington and Jefferson National Forests in VA have an amazing network that rivals PA - especially around the Mount Rogers/Grayson Highlands area where you can piece together loops using the AT, Virginia Highlands Horse Trail, and tons of connector trails while seeing wild ponies along the way!
