Angler's Ridge Trail System
22 reviews
 4.55 of 5

The Angler's Ridge Trail System is a new trail system which weaves it's way throughout the new "CyberPark" industrial park just southwest of the Danville Regional Airport. Using the old gravel farm roads as a backbone, IMBA-inspired singletrack has been constructed throughout the park. Over 6 miles of wooded singletrack with multiple creek crossings and log crossings await.

These trails were used to host Danville's first-ever MTB race held in September of 2003 as part of the Virginia Derailer Race Series. The race loop includes almost every trail including "Little Pisgah", "Slingshot", "Hot Tamale", "Screaming Eagle", and "Angler's Ridge Trail".

Thanks to the Southern Virginia Mountain Bike Association for their hard work and dedication and their great partnership with Danville's Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. The SVMBA leads great club rides every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. They can be contacted through e-mail at svmba@adelphia.net.

Summary:
I only had a chance to ride these trails for about 45 minutes. What I did ride rocked. Great flow and the faster you rode the more technical it became. I live 2 hrs away but will make a return trip to ride everything. Definitely check these trails out you wont be disappointed. My only suggestion is there weren't any maps to take and the map at the trailhead was tough to read. There might be a map online that I need to search for. However, the trails are well marked so I never felt lost or spent much time backtracking.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Falling Creek - Bedford, VA

Summary:
I think I ruptured something; holy crap this is a fun trail. Lots of miles, varied terrain, and some tough climbs. If you don't like this one stay on the greenway.

Other recommended trails in the same area:

Summary:
Rode these trails for the first time this weekend and had a Great time. Met with some of the SVMBA members (including their president) and got a real tour of the place. This was some of the best riding I've had in a while. Being that we had riders giving us a guided tour, we rode some of the most well laid out routes I've ridden in some time. Great Flow! I highly recommend riding these trails. I just hate that I'm not closer to Danville.

Summary:
Angler's Ridge...great trails. Went out the today with the SVMBA riders and got the whole tour. Great guys and great trails. Covered Crooked Stick, Hot Tamale, Little Pisgah and all the smaller trails in between. I think SVMBA are doing a great job out there and they are always willing to meet up with other bikers and give your the tour. Triangle Off Road Cycling is thankful for the relationship the have with SVMBA. Until next time...

Recommended Route:
Start off with Crooked Stick to get your cardio going, then over to Hot Tamale and then pick out all the connectors and smaller trails for roughly 16-18 miles of unrepeated trail riding. Then do it again if you need to.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Greensboro..Owls Roost and associated trails. Your not too far from Little River or the Chapel Hill trails.
