Eastern Trailhead - "Dog Park"

Many know it simply as the “ Dog Park.” Located off Route 53, .5 miles off Route 15, this trailhead has become something spectacular. Amenities include a Dog Park – open to the public at no fee, 3 picnic shelters, an ADA accessible gravel dust trail that leads to banks of the Rivanna River, as well as a self guided fitness trail. Shelters can be reserved and rented or they are on a first come, first serve basis. 

The Trails at Pleasant Grove

The county purchased 969 areas of farm land in 1994 when members of the Historical Society suggested that it would be an ideal location for a park public trail system. From the notion, the Fluvanna Heritage Trail Foundation was eventually formed that eventually Fluvanna Heritage Trail.  The Foundation continues to work with Fluvanna County Parks and Recreation on the trails today which have grown to 22 miles of trails for everyone to enjoy.
