Waller Mill Park

This ride's general location is 5 miles west of Williamsburg between US 60 and Interstate 64. Scenery includes mature hardwoods surrounding a lake. This is a demanding-and popular-single track in a coastal area where you'd expect flatter, easier riding. This loop repeatedly switches back as it circles around the eastern section of Waller Mill Pond, so it's easy to get a little disoriented in places. Throw in the short but steep ups and downs, and it's hard to take your eyes off the trail long enough to admire the striking hardwoods and lake that surround you. There is little flat terrain as the trail meanders through the woods, so this ride is strictly for intermediate to advanced riders. The riding surface is very narrow and winds its way around holly and oaks, many of whose roots poke their way across your path, adding to the technical challenge of this loop.
