Powhite Park

This is a great hidden gem. Very large network of trails used by both pedestrian and bicycle. Our dog loves it. Outside loop is about 3 miles, some hills especially when on the entry trail, there is a steep decline hiking in.

Were pleasantly surprised . It was an hour by the time we were done and did not realize it. Lot of trails yet remaining to be explored. Will definitely visit again. Went there around 11 pm, very few people.little difficult to maintain social distancing but overall nice

One of the best/my favorite parks for Mountain Biking in the area. Also hiking, waking the dog, etc. Smaller sure, but comparable if not better than Pocahontas and sections of Forest Hill Park.

Beginners to 20 year experts will all enjoy the loop. It can be technical and challenging but easily passible on foot if need be. Plenty of videos on YouTube as well. It really is the hidden gem in all of Central Virginia.

This was a great find for a quick morning mountain biking session! It was a little hard to find since it’s not obvious where the trail head goes into the woods, but once I found that it was a quick ride into the woods, and then around all the loops at this trail has. There were some great switchbacks, and there is a river bed where there are some nice burn walls where you can get some good speed going! I really enjoyed these nicely maintained trails!

Besides a few picnic tables and parking spots, the trails are the only attraction in this tiny city park. I like that it first follows along the nearby Powhite Expressway before heading in to the bush. There the seclusion of the woods and hills make for a nice get away. Good for hiking & biking, you can choose an outside loop and several interconnecting trails. No views to speak of. With some backtracking, you can put in a good, satisfying hour of hiking.
