Easy trail for adults, medium difficulty terrain at parts with a toddler. We saw several families while doing the Fox hollow trail to dickey ridge back to the visitor center loop. The trail was mostly well kept. there were a few points in which it got a little bit narrow which made it hard during quarantine time but everyone on the trail was very respectful. This trail is not as high traffic as some of the other parts of the park. we were able to complete the entire trail with the toddler in about an hour and a half. Even though the Shenandoah app said that it should take about 45 minutes to an hour, we took our time.
This trail can be found directly across the street from the Visitors Center. Although listed as an Easy Hike be aware that at times the path could be a little steep uphill or downhill. We went on this trail with a toddler and enjoyed it very much. If you are also trekking with a little one, please note this trail is not paved and there are many rocks and roots in the path. There are old wall structures, a cemetery and a small steam on this hike.
I enjoy this place a lot but unfortunately the hard drive I was storing pictures on got broken so I dont have any pictures upload for this Trail. But as you can see from the other pictures its worth while.
Great trail, not great for little little kids.
A short relatively easy trail. Start at the trailhead across from the visitor center and walk north (left). The trail is well marked and well maintained and downhill for part of the way. It is a good hike to see some of the structures that were there before the park was established--old stone walls, piles of stones cleared for fields, a small family cemetery an a spring.There are quite a few short hikes/circuits at Dickey Ridge and I have enjoyed a lot of them.
This trail is awesome.
