Wilson Gap is a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mountain, located on the border of Loudoun County, Virginia and Jefferson County, West Virginia. The 1443ft. (440m) gap once served as a thoroughfare between western Loudoun and the communities of Shannondale and Mountain Mission in Jefferson County. The gap is no longer traversed by a maintained road, though the Appalachian Trail does cross the gap.
