#1
Old Rag Mountain Trails, Up and Down or Circuit.
No dogs allowed on Old Rag Trails.

Now the Park requires a day use trail permit for all hikers so as to limit hikers to a reasonable number.
:: Buy tickets for each Old Rag hiker here >

You must take rain gear and extra layers- frequent showers in the summer, food, water, extra layers, and head lamp. - WEATHER CHANGES and you could get into a "white out".

There is no cell access.

There are two ways to access this hike
1) Front Access , scrambling through the boulder slots. This is VERY busy on weekends. It is a 10.5-mile drive from the Campground - going the back way via Etlan to Nethers to trail head.
Trail Details here > The main parking lot is now right by the trail head with the over flow lots back 6/10th of mile. On a weekend, you will be hiking with hundred of others. The circuit is 9.5 miles and will take at least 8 hrs. Half is a 2800 ft vertical climb and descent while half is fire road and not too challenging.

2) Back access -up our back hollow road - Weakley Hollow Rd, which starts by the corner Market. It is 6.6 miles to Berry Hollow Parking area. Limited parking but not much used. DO NOT park on the road shoulder. If needed, drive back to the White Oak Parking lot and walk up. Place park fees in the honor box. For Trail details -  see narrative explanation here >. and follow these details in partial reverse You can go up to the top and down - 1780 elevation gain, with not many other hikers. Tough hike but you do not scramble through the rock slots.  6-7 hours - STRENUOUS. Do the full loop, scrambling down through the slots - now with the throngs from the front access, then at bottom you will loop back on the Weakley Hollow Fire Rd/Berry Hollow to your car.  9.5 hrs. STRENUOUS, last part of circuit is gentle.

3 miles, 430 ft elevation gain This is not too strenuous, can be a family hike, up by a series of waterfalls.

• • Our cascading workshop comes down these waterfalls - led by our Shenandoah Mountain Guides Team).

The hike can be STRENUOUS if you choose to hike up to the top of the Ridge.

Warning In winter - black ice buildup by waterfalls, means that for safety, you should stay well back from the falls. Black ice can cause a catastrophic tumble. It happens. Please be aware..

Our Own 29 Miles of Trails
On the Farm we have 18 miles of trails that can connect out to Camp Hoover, Rapidan and then up to Skyline Drive.

• We have gentle strolls out through the orchard, around ponds, along the stream sides, up onto the shoulders of Graves Mountain, and then up to the ridge line.
• Strenuous kickers will take you Doubletop Mountain at 3455 feet, along its shoulders. Steep, challenging footing and a killer workout

Little Critters Notice
– we are a Farm and you are on a partial meadow and forest around.
So you will have bugs, toads, frogs come to visit, while bear and deer may stroll by in the early morning. We do not use pesticides on these fields.

Big Critters - Bears and Deer - no Sasquatch that we know of but keep listening for the "knocks"
Be "Bear aware" in campground and on trails. Keep your food secure, if you come across a bear, make noise and retreat facing it. It is always wise to make human noise as you walk along - warning any bears that it is time to skedaddle.
