If my memory serves me I was up there about 8-9 years ago with my son. He had a beat up old jeep wagoneer and we went up the four wheel road. As I recall the road was not too bad until you got up a ways. I was always a fan of the Piney River further north in the SNP and I remember thinking Devils Ditch was just about as good as Piney with drive in capability. It is a typical SNP small brook trout stream. Since it is in the Rapidan Wildlife Management area there were campsites beside the creek. Because of this also there were fewer little brook trout than we encountered on the Piney river (45 min walk in from the parkway). I always wanted to go back.

I'll fish mostly from shore with studded boots for the rocks and wire fencing on the ground. Floating line. Sink will get you caught on the wire and you'll loose flies. I'll wear waders just to protect myself from the elements.
Sent from my iPhoneAre you wading that area? I haven't fished there before. I am guessing that the water is warmer there because of the outflow of the powerplant. Are you using a full sinking or a sink tip there?
I am also surprised that the stripers don't come in there during the winter because of the bait and current. It sounds like a cool place
Come to think of it I have probably fished a few days in the Upper Rapidan and done okay for brookies. Another good river is the Conway River. It has native Brown trout.--
