Richmond Region Ride Center Coming To Pocahontas

Pocahontas is looking forward to the addition of almost 30 miles of new single track trails by April 2015.  The new ride center will move the center of mountain biking activity from Qualla Road and the Conservation Museum parking area to a new, more accessible area on Courthouse Road, less than a mile from highway 288.  

Announced earlier this year by Governor McDonald, the new development at Pocahontas is part of an unprecedented partnership between FOPSP, the Virginia DCR, The Virginia Association for Parks, IMBA, Richmond MORE, The Paralyzed Veterans of America and corporate sponsors.  The park will include:

• 25 miles of new stacked loop trails
• a 5 mile, mountain hand cycle accessible gateway trail
• a new day use trail head on Courthouse Road with expanded parking, washrooms and changing facilities
• a connection between the new trail system and the existing Lakeview single track
• continuing funds for improving and armoring the existing mtb trails
• better signage
• a pump track and skills area
