The park has over 16 miles of trails, 6 of which are multi use; catering to hikers, bikers, and horseback riders.
Culler’s Trail
Culler’s Trail is 2.55 mile, easy multi-use trail that is accessible from a parking lot just north of the contact station. This parking lot also has space to park horse trailers. The trail passes through hardwood forest until reaching open fields and leveling out. As the trail nears the river, there is access to the Tater Patch, Sawmill Hollow, River Ridge, Redtail Ridge, and Cassidy Point Trails. The trail continues to the park’s western border, where users can see some of the local canoe rental and outdoor adventure facilities.

River Trail
The River Trail is a 2.5 mile, flat, easy, multi use trail that is accessible from Culler’s Trail in several places and provides access to the Paw Paw Trail. As the name suggests, this trail parallels the Shenandoah River as it runs through flat rolling fields and areas of wildflowers. The trail is mostly fine gravel though in some places it is more rough and rocky. Mostly in the western part of the trail, this rocky section might be difficult for some bikes and on some horse hooves. Users should exercise care.

Sawmill Hollow Trail
The Sawmill Hollow Trail is a .66 mile moderate difficulty, multi-use trail that is accessible from the Tater Patch, River Ridge, and Culler’s Trails. It passes through a wooded ravine or hollow. A few steep points are on the trail that requires caution but otherwise most of the trail is easy to negotiate.

Tater Patch Trail
The Tater Patch Trail is a 1.57 mile, moderate difficulty, multi-use trail that forms a loop through hardwood forest and some rough and rocky terrain, presenting a particular challenge to mountain bikers. The trail is accessible from the Culler’s Trail in two places and is also accessible from the Sawmill Hollow Trail. From the Culler’s Trail access in the field area, the trail climbs into the woods where users will find an intersection offering two routes. The left fork is extremely narrow with numerous steep and difficult switchbacks that wind up to the second access point from the Culler’s Trail. Users who take the right fork will experience a more gradual climb, passing close to a field before the trail descends by way of a steep gravel incline to the Sawmill Hollow Trail.
