Trail Map
Rockfish Valley Track Trail From Kidsinparks.com “…. a flat, 1 mile loop that follows the South Fork of the Rockfish River and Reids Creek. The trail features riparian, field, and bog habitats and offers excellent opportunities for viewing wildlife.”
? There are plans for a the Native Plant Walk. I don’t know if this has been completed. From the map it looks very easy.
