Pandapas Pond Mountain Bike Trails

Located within cycling distance of Blacksburg, this park is nestled in the hills of Jefferson National Forest. Pandapas Pond has something for everyone - for a technically easy ride, hop onto the Poverty Creek Trail, which runs the length of the park, and then ride back on the fire road. For more of a more technical challenge, take any of the numerous side trails off of the Poverty Creek Trail or off the Fire Road, which are steep and intermittently rocky.

Radford Mountain Bike Park

This 100 acre gem overlooking Claytor Lake Dam is Radford's newest area for mountain biking, trail running, hiking, walking and bird watching.
