About This Trail

[Total: 76    Average: 3.5/5]

Great ambling and shady trail. This is a generally wide trail & an easy hike, however there are a couple places where it will cross the stream, so be prepared with appropriate footwear.  The main destination is a swimming hole with some small waterfalls. This is a well shaded hike and is appropriate for carriers or walkers, but not for strollers.

Getting There

From Charlottesville:

Take Barracks Road away from town.  Barracks Road turns into Garth Road. Continue for about 11 miles.  At White Hall you will come to a very sharp turn in the road & Piedmont Store will be directly in front of you.  Garth Road takes a sharp right, but you will stay straight (this becomes Rt 614), keeping Piedmont Store on your right as you pass it. Continue a few more miles, you will make a steep climb & pass the dam & reservoir on your left. The road will turn to gravel at the top of the hill.  Park in the parking lot.
