8 Equestrian Trails in Virginia That You Shouldn't Miss

January 4, 2022 Tynisha Seiler

Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

Star B Stables

Reviewed By 287sadafj

We were first time riders and the experience at star B stables was amazing. The guide was very nice and explained everything well. The horses were calm and very sweet. If you’re looking for a day out with family or friends, this is a great horseback riding place around. The pricing is very reasonable. I felt very safe in my experience and we all had a great time. Please give them a try. We’ll definitely be back soon!!

Virginia Creeper Trail Club

Reviewed By Valleytraveller11 - Shenandoah Valley, United States

This scenic rail to trail park extends for about 34 miles from Damascus, Va to Abingdon. I walked for about an hour and a half and really liked it. There seemed to be a lot of trees along the trail. I'm guessing this would be a great place for a summer hike or bike ride if you like well shaded trails.

Virginia Blue Ridge Railway Trail

Reviewed By IKE48 - Holland, United States

A beautiful well kept crushed stone trail that meanders along side a river. Plenty of place to stop and relax to enjoy nature. As bicyclers we wished is was longer (14 miles round trip), but was totally a great ride.

Bull Run - Occoquan Trail

Reviewed By heatherf929 - Manassas, United States

We enjoyed a wonderful fall hike along Bull Run. We parked at Hemlock Overlook Regional Park in Clifton and took the yellow blaze trail. It's a beautiful walk through the woods down to Bull Run (stream), then followed the blue trail along the water. We turned off the blue trail to loop back along the yellow blazes to the trailhead. It's was a couple of miles with beautiful fall trees and a lovely walk along the water. We did the hike with our three children, and it was not strenuous. At the end of the hike, we walked over to Paradise Springs Winery, where we enjoyed a picnic lunch and a lovely bottle of wine. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!

Ride includes an arena orientation explaining how to safely and comfortably enjoy your horseback riding experience. From the arena we transition to our pastures, and finally a cool wooded trail.
