The Hethwood Pond – Huckleberry Trail loop from Blacksburg is a fantastic option for an easy touring bicycle ride, offering a diverse and pleasant journey. You'll glide along mostly paved surfaces, passing through urban fringes, quiet rural landscapes, and forested sections. The route features the serene Hethwood Pond, complete with willow trees and gazebos, providing a lovely spot to pause and enjoy the scenery.
This 10.7-mile (17.2 km) loop has a gentle 470 feet (143 metres) of elevation gain, making it an accessible ride for all skill levels, typically taking about 1 hour and 1 minute. Multiple parking areas and trailheads are available, and you can even find share bike hubs from Roam NRV. No permits are needed, so you can simply show up and enjoy the ride.
Part of the extensive Huckleberry Trail system, this route connects you to a significant regional asset that was once a historic rail line. The trail's smooth, wide surface is a major draw for cyclists, and its connection to the larger 60-mile network of trails in the New River Valley makes it a great starting point for exploring more of the area's cycling opportunities.
