 Prior to 2001, different portions of the trail had been known by different names and blazed in different colors.With the completion of the missing links, the Forest Service renamed the combined trails as the Massanutten Trail and provided orange blazes along the trail's entire length around Fort Valley.Fort Valley features two developed U.S. Forest Service recreation areas, Elizabeth Furnace Recreation Area toward the northern apex of the Valley, and Camp Roosevelt Recreation Area at Edith Gap in the southeast end of the valley.
