Chester Gap, sometimes referred to as Happy Creek Gap for the creek that runs down its western slope, is a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the border of Rappahannock County, Fauquier County, and Warren County in Virginia. The gap is traversed by U.S. Route 522.[1] The Appalachian Trail also passes across the gap, with a trailhead at the gap.[2]
