Beautiful place to take your family and friends. Great road access with decent parking available. Green belt area for picnics and being near the water, very cool little place next to the waterfall. Also serves as a trail head for a network of Lynchburgs finest trails miles of trails that take you downtown or all the way to Boonsboro.

This park is beautiful and unique. Unlike many other parks, this one has a waterfall that is awesome to sit near, and also a long trail great for bike riding or walking, including a large rock tunnel. Be sure to watch for snakes as weve seen a few on the trail!

A nice area to take the family to look at the waterfall and have a nice water view without having to hike to get there. The walking trail is really nice and well. I dont feel super comfortable walking it by myself, but Ive done it without any issues.

It is a great place to grill outside next by the creek and enjoy a nice view of nature without having to hike at all. I would recommend for small events or to show your friend from out of town one of the little hidden jems of Lynchburg.

This is a nice little park with some grills for cookout. Its a place with the great little view is quiet spread out and peaceful. It connects to two one of the city trails and you can go for a nice little walk straight from the park.

Great little park with plenty of hiking and biking trails. Saw a beautiful waterfall and got to cross just below it using some of the natural terrain. Well maintained park! Dog friendly.

Nice scenic spot to stop for a break if youre biking, running or walking by. Also, nice spot if you would like to picnic or sit and listen to the rushing water instead of biking, running or walking. Theres a small parking lot in this area so it is very accessible.

Hollins mill park is my favourite urban forest area in Lynchburg. It has a number park, where you can enjoy berbeque. The stream right beside the park provides the perfect setting to test your fishing skills while the berbeque does its job. Or if you prefer, you can bring in your canoe and enjoy the stream. Multiple hiking routes provide you great options for hiking or even cycling. And to top it off, the stream jumps over a wide man made waterfall giving it a great view.

This is quite literally my favorite part of Lynchburg. Im not sure why this place is such a secret with all that it offers, but Im glad it is fairly unheard of since it stays quiet and calm. With a waterfall, tunnel, and a bridge, there is no lack of exploration within this park. All the trails are kept well and I could easily spend hours walking/biking this park.

This is just a view from the train, which will certainly pass by at some point, although, multiple freight trains are more likely throughout the day and night, except for the twice a day that the Amtrak Northeast Regional makes the last stop, (or the first stop), depending upon how you look at it... the Southernmost of the NE Corridor route.Enjoy..!

This is such a beautiful park. If youre looking for great views while hiking, give this place a shot. The fall and underpass is breathtaking, and the number of trails to choose from makes Hollins Mill a sight to see.

When the water is not muddy, the waterfall is beautiful. The trail will take you to phenomenal places. Whichever direction you choose where trails merge, you will be immersed in natural beauty.

Nice little park. The geese are pretty but have messed all over the place so that detracts from the over all experience. Even with that we had a nice time. The facilities are limited.

It looks like a beautiful park but not after extreme flooding. We just had the timing off. A great place to stop off during a day trip in and around the area.

The park seems like a great place to go throw a frisbee or even set at picnic table and watch the water. But beware the geese they have droppings EVERYWHERE . If you are allergic to down I wouldnt bother even stopping except maybe for a quick glance at the water/fall and keep it moving

A nice park with access to the Blackwater Creek Trail, a kayak/canoe launch site, and picnic tables and grills. There is also decent fishing for sunfish, small mouth bass, and catfish. The problem is the trash in the creek. Its sad to see SOOO much garbage floating around and laying on the banks. A greater effort needs to be put into the maintenance of the park.

Pretty waterfall, convenient location, and nice for picnicking. I brought my kids here to eat lunch. We sat at the top at a picnic table and enjoyed ourselves. After eating, we walked for a bit on the trail. However, after walking down the trail for a while, the water began to stink really bad...theres a storm drain for excess water during times of heavy rain and it was around that drain pipe system when it began to stink. It smelled like sewage really bad although Im not sure why because the drain is for excess water, not sewage. But after walking past it for a little while longer, we turned around because the smell did not subside. Other than that and coming across a dead animal on the trail, it was nice. The waterfall and path across the creek were my kids favorite things. Plus, the kids spotted a blue heron in a tree which they thought was really cool.
