  I only hit the section of this conservation area along the AT, but it is a lovely ridge and the valley below looks marvelous. Both the blue-blazed Victoria and the pink-blazed White Tail Deer trail come up from route 325 and are well worth hiking.

  Good blue trail - Victoria - to top of ridge intersecting Appalachian Trail.

  Very well maintained area that offers a ton of shorter day hikes and exploration. If you're interested in a ~5mi hike, try the Victoria Trail. This is a nice, relatively shorter hike that offers nice glimpses of forest scenery and, at the top of the mountain, views of the adjacent valley. Started off Rt. 325 and made the turn-around at the Ibberson Conservation Area. I agree with the "moderate" rating for this hike -- it definitely features an incline over its duration (with slightly steeper grades going 325-->Ibberson) and rocks that add resistance, but it's relatively shorter and steadier than more strenuous uphill hikes. Bring hiking boots and water, and enjoy the hike!

  What an awesome place to just hike and enjoy nature. Being able to spend a little time on the AT was awesome as well.

  Lots of fleas and damp ambience - we visited in June. Sunlight wouldn't seep through due to high trees and narrow trails.
  
  The size of area for hiking is on the smaller side - took us under 2 hours to do a medium length trail on the map. One should check that before one plans.
  
  No breathtaking views or the like. I wouldn't do this trail ever.
