Summary

Pack a snack or two and plenty of drinking water. The total time including snack break should be around 1-1.5 hours

This is somewhat challenging 6 mile bike ride but a great, fun bike ride worth any challenge and you’ll get a thrill on this Blueberry Hill Trail!!

We’ll start at the boat ramp, cross over the steel bridge and head to the right to connect to the Blueberry Hill Trail. The initial part has a few uphill sections, but just as you are tiring out it flattens out to a gentle downward slope with plenty of humps that are great for using as a jumping-off platform (should you want to do that). After a while there is the top and a good resting point before tackling the undulating, rolling hills of the Bell Lap trail—biking meets roll-coaster.

This leads back down the hill were you loop back up to the start of the Bell Lap Trail and to continue on the Blueberry Hill Trail back slowly down to the boat ramp. Total trip is about 6 miles and 60-90 minutes. This is a really great new trail that is full of twists, turns and humps.

Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot

We'll meet at 5:45 PM at the parking area Near Ledo Pizza, 7052 Commons Plaza, Chesterfield, VA, 23832, and then drive to Pocahontas State Park and the Swift Creek Lake Boat Launch.

I’ll have a white 2000 Honda Accord 4-DR with my bike on back.

Pack a snack or two and plenty of drinking water. The total time including snack break should be around 1-1.5 hours
