Confirmed from The Rivanna Trail - Woolen Mills' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about The Rivanna Trail - Woolen Mills
The Rihanna trail is the most beautiful trail I've ever been on. This is a special place for me where I've spent a lot of time walking and enjoying nature!
This is a wonderful place to walk and observe turtles sunning themselves on logs. New wildflowers appear everyday. It is a great gift to the public.
