After a much longer hike the day before, we wanted a shorter, easier one for our last day. Since this one is right next to Skyland where we we're staying, it was perfect. In short, it is easy to find the trail head, there was ample parking (at 10am), and it was a pretty easy hike up to the best view I have seen yet in the park. All in all I think it took is about an hour round trip, with about 15 minutes standing at the top. Highly recommended!

Be sure to go the distance because the view is amazing. You will hike to a summit which has an awesome view but be sure to continue along the ridge to the actual buzzard rock location. Look for the path the continues upward (almost doubling back but climbing the ridge). Bring water. Oh, and yes, good luck with the parking.

A quick & easy walk through a 3 ft wide path that is handicap accessible. No steep grade very level walk way. A beautiful view at the end. Easy to find off 211, drive carefully & slowly on Crisman Hollow a sharp back switch and only a lane 1/2 road. Enjoy this easy walk to a beautiful view.

This paved path is a great way to enjoy the wildlife that likes to live along water and is the perfect 5K. I walk/jog it often and the Town of Luray staff keep it looking great and there are 2 nice bathroom facilities along the route. They have doggie bags available to pick up after your pets should you want to exercise with your 4 legged friend.

Walked along the trail fo about 2 miles on a beautiful fall day. Started near the town of Falling Springs along the Jackson river to the interesting cliffs and rock formations. This trail is a great asset for the area!

This is the second time I have done Kennedy Peak. One in the fog and snow which was SO mystical and peaceful, and again this October with my daughter during the fall foliage. Absolutely spectacular, both times, for different reasons. This a great mid-distance hike (we just did the out and back) with several scenic overlooks, and 360 views at the top. The observation deck is a great place for rest and a snack. We love this hike, can't wait to go back!
9. Seven Bends State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
This park is under construction and has no parking, restrooms or other facilities. Pedestrians are allowed during daylight hours. The park, which is in the geographically unique "seven bends" area of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, will provide access to the river's north fork once facilities are built.

Our goal is to visit every VA state park and we're almost there! We came here today for a nice little hike, to check out the river and to do some geocaching. Yes, the road in and out is a bit steep and backwoods, but that's what we love. We found a cool swinging bridge to walk across near the Muse vineyard. Just remember to move over as far as you can when passing another vehicle.

Tough disc golf course, nice playground, multiple picnic areas, permanent corn hole boards (looks to be bring your own bags though). Played the tough disc golf course. Narrow and hilly, lost 3 discs. But saw plenty of nature, deer, garter snake eating a toad, turtle, pileated wood pecker.
