Almost 20 miles of trails located 1/2 mile from Palmyra proper on Rt. 53W (Thomas Jefferson Parkway). Take the trail that leads to the beachy shores of the Rivanna River and plan a picnic. The historic manor is frequently available for tours and hosts local historical events as well.

Hiking/walking for the less adventurous among us!
Beautifully maintained, wide, clean "boardwalk" through the woods overlooking Charlottesville. Feels like a gigantic treehouse at times. Plenty of spaces to rest and take in the scenery. At the top there is a get shop and cafe.
