Description

Added by Eleanor Davis

Pleasant Grove Park has miles and miles of trails and you could easily hike a ten-mile loop if you linked everything together. This particular trail, Heritage Trail and Beach Grove Loop, is a 4.6 mile loop in the southern part of Pleasant Grove, which takes a little under two hours to complete depending on how quickly you're moving.

The majority of the trails are wooded with varied terrain, but there is also a very nice area of river access for swimming. This park is also very dog friendly with most trails allowing dogs to be off-leash as well as a fenced in dog park with multiple sections.

Preddy Creek & Creekside Trail Loop

My husband is a runner and I am not. I hate to run and the entire time I am running I am exhausting myself thinking how much I hate running. However, I love hiking. I can hike all day and I can kick my runner husband's butt with a pack on going up a mountain trail. The problem with this though is that I need to exercise, often, and I live in Gordonsville, about 20-minutes outside Charlottesvill...

Kayak Beaver Creek Lake

This little lake close to Charlottesville is my favorite place for an after work kayak, SUP, or just picnic by the water. It's a 20min drive from town, and the perfect place to watch the sunset over the Blue Ridge with water views. No gasoline powered motors allowed, but anything else you can get in the water is fair game.On the weekends there is SUP yoga, and plenty of places to have an impr...

Photograph Charlottesville Reservoir

The reservoir is located in the Piedmont Hills just outside the city of Charlottesville, Virginia. So technically Charlottesville Reservoir is not in Shenandoah National Park, but it is only a few feet outside of the park, and it has an outstanding view of the Blue Ridge Mountains that make up the Southern District of Shenandoah National Park. To reach Charlottesville Reservoir, known locally ...
