Walnut Creek Park - Charlottesville Virginia Mountain Bike Trails

Since its inception a few years back Central Virginia mountain bikers, trail runners, and hikers have all volunteered the thousands of hours of their time to design, build, and maintain these fantastic multi-use trails for our enjoyment. And their efforts have paid off big. Today there are over 13 miles of clearly marked singletrack trails on which to ride. These trails lead cyclists and other trail users over tight, twisting routes through a dense hardwood forest surrounding a 25-acre lake. there are countless log jumps, hairpin turns, quick descents, hills, ravines, and just about everything a well-planned trail system can throw at you. Trail Surface: Rocky, rooty singletrack with occasional creek crossings through dense hardwood.
