No mechanical vehicles, including bicycles, are permitted in the Wildlands.The Sweathouse Branch Wildlands provides an ideal environment for small-mouth bass, catfish, eel, carp and brown trout. The area has abundant wildflowers, including Virginia bluebell, mullein, hepatica and anemone, plus 14 kinds of fern. Virginia pine dominates the ridge line, with chestnut oak, scarlet oak, black oak and hickory taking over on the descent into the valley.
