Pocahontas State Park

Review: Lots of fun. Fairly easy with some obstacles, root and gardens, but nothing really difficult. Great for beginners like me. Some steep hills. Well maintained, and the fire roads and horse trails are also accessible for mountain biking. My only complaint is that the park closes the bike trails for a day or two every time it rains, and we get a lot of rain in here.

Review: Well maintained,

Review: Great trail system and upkeep by the Volunteers, parking can get crowded on weekends.

Review: Well maintained and a enjoyable ride. I rode Lakeview Trail 1 & 2. It had a few technical spots but I'm also a beginner.

Review: Great day of riding for all levels

Review: Great for all skill levels, simulates the big mountains just west of richmond with easy long-ish climbs to fun downhills with jumps and great flow. The trails are all ridable by beginners, they may need to hike their bikes once or twice, but overall they'll love the non-steep grade and smooth trails.

Review: I did not get to ride this as much as I had hoped but I had fun and hope to go back.
lots of miles of fun to be had by all skill levels

Review: The new trails are awesome. Labeled easy but if your trying to work on more dirt jump/pump track skills. Ride them! I was slightly disappointed in Morel Ravine which is labeled black diamond. The ravine crossing are not beginner! But the down tree crossings, which all can be ridden, got a wee bit boring. But yeah I'm going back. Great state park!

Review: Rode the three Lake View trails today. The Friends of Pocahontas State Park were out on the trail working on a new berm. Eventhough there was heavy rain on Thursday and heavy leaves on the trails, the trails were still visible with all the usage. The trails are nice with all the changes with roots, rocks, bridges, creek crossing, and constant turns. The views of the lakes were awesome.
I stopped in the Nature office near the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum and the park staff was friendly. He gave me pointers on which trails to ride as well as personal insight since he rides the trails too. He also advised me about new bike trails not on the map yet. I will definitely return to ride the other trails.

Review: We were visiting Richmond to experience the UCI World Championships last week. We camped at Pocahontas SP for the duration and tasted their mountain bike offerings. With a variety of trails in the park we were never bored. From easy double track routes like Old Mill to their brand new flow trails like Blueberry Hill and Bell Lap there was plenty to keep our interest in the times between trips to Richmond. I highly recommend this park for a mountain bike getaway. Trails can be easily accessed from the campground. There are almost 50 miles of routes available to cyclists.
