Brittany M.

Family ran business, eager to help you get going on the Virginia Creeper Trail. Conveniently located right in the heart of Damascus. Each bike comes with a flat tire repair kit in a small bag. Helmets are optional but they did have plenty in nice condition to choose from. They shuttle you up to the top of the trail at White Top. Adults $26 Children $24 I think we did get a 10% discount for having a larger group. We will definitely use this bike rental place again! *my only suggestion would be a locker room type situation for those who come off the trail muddy BUT they were nice enough to offer us a box to put our muddy wet items in.

The ride up in the van was easy and not scary at all considering the switch backs and pulling a load of bikes.

April, 2025. We visited Abington, Virginia quite a few years ago. After discovering the Virginia…read moreCreeper Trail at that time, we promised that we'd return "someday" to bike at least part of the trail. This trail is a nationally-acclaimed Rails-to-Trails that extends for 34 miles and over 47 trestle bridges. While best known as a biking trail, it's actually a multi-use trail with bikers, walkers, stroller pushers, runners, equestrians, and more, especially near the access points. In the past, the trail started near Whitetop, went about 18 miles to the center point near Damascus, and ended in the charming town of Abingdon (or vice versa). Unfortunately, Damascus was hard hit by Hurricane Helene, and 18 trestle bridges were destroyed as well as many portions of the trail so the Whitetop to Damascus portion of the trail is currently closed. The 18-mile stretch from Damascus to Abington IS open. While there are bike rental companies, as well as shuttle services to take you to the trail's start, we brought our own bikes. We decided to ride the 8.5 mile segment from Abingdon (elevation: 2,020' to Alvarado Station (the old train stop at 1,750') and back. This "lower" section is considered a relatively easy to moderate stretch through rolling farmland and forests and over beautiful trestle bridges. As mentioned, our turning point was Alvarado Station, where we enjoyed our picnic lunch on a bench river-side. The stop also had drinks and snacks available for sale, a water refill station, restrooms, and a big, friendly dog eyeing our lunches! The trail is wide in most areas, and is very well-maintained. There are multiple access points with parking lots, information kiosks, regular mileage markers, benches, photo ops, and some restrooms. In a relatively recent development, e-bikes are now allowed on the trail. With its restaurants, breweries, shops, local theater, and more, make some extra time to visit Abingdon!

Love riding the Virginia Creeper Trail. Most people ride it from Whitetop Mountain down to…read moreDamascus, but it's just as enjoyable riding the section from Abingdon to Damascus, and back. Both routes offer beautiful scenery and make for a great ride. ‍

Not sure why there's not more than one review on this place? People visiting Bristol need to know…read morethat there is a cool place to help the littles blow off some steam. Three differently sized playscapes to meet the needs of different aged children. Multiple benches to sit on. Close to a walking/running trail and plenty of space to run around. Turf is old school tan bark, wear closed toe shoes. Also, only one tree providing shade 9:30-10:30am. 75% of play area is in full sun. Bummer. Bring a hat and sunscreen. Ran the sidewalk trail they have and it was actually a good distance, most of it in the sun, but the weather was cool enough to handle it full sun. I'm always a little sketched and on high alert when visiting new parks from out of town so I ran with my phone in my hand. The lower part of the trail is fully visible to others so it's probably not necessary to have to carry a phone. I didn't feel worried once I was out there. Pretty park to run in.

Easy to get to playground when you're on the road traveling - close to hotels & fast food…read more We stopped here before getting back on the road after a 1 night stay near by. It served its purpose - getting energy out before the next leg of the drive. There's a small area for younger toddlers and bigger playgrounds for older kids. My 2 year loved the taller playgrounds. Many features to run around and play on. There is some wear and tear to the playground. It's muddy when wet out but overall a good park. There is also a free little library - there wasn't much in it while we were there. Easy parking

This was a waste of time. First, there is not one single sign identifying the location until you…read moreare standing on their "porch". That's when you will see this waist high faded "Kolo" sign. It took me 30 plus minutes to find the place with GPS and only after a phone call. Their website is misleading. If you are looking for a kid friendly place to pedal and zip line- cool. If you are in town looking to mtn bike- forget it. Does the name indicate "Kids Only something something"?I didn't get that from the website. 2nd, they have regular office hours, closing at 5pm. Awesome if you are a stay at home parent but as a traveler looking to ride after work- not good (website could have been a lot more helpful here). Lastly, I got there at 4:30. With "only 30 Minutes left to ride", they recommended that I come back a couple days later and ride- at full price ($25)! ?!? I'm really glad that they are helping to expose young riders to the sport but fix the website and get some signage and if someone arrives with only a few minutes left to ride, you might think about offering the twilight price if they come back another day. The good news is that I did find a fantastic area to ride about 25 minutes away. Bent Creek. Open past 5pm and no charge. Plus the locals (and the shop nearby-Epic) there are super friendly and helpful.

Here is my situation-My wife (27) and female cousin (22) had to call it quit toward the end @ The Cottage Cafe (4 mile away). I rode back by myself to drop off my bike and get my truck in order to pick them up. I forgot the key to my vehicle but the staff was nice enough to let me borrow an E-bike for free! It was a breeze bc 4 miles took less than 15min. I will definitely be back using an E-bike !

Definitely recommend making a reservation for a bike ahead of time to guarantee a spot at your desired time. And be sure to arrive 30 minutes before so you can get set up with a bike. I read all the reviews and watched lots of TikToks about the 17 mile bike ride itself--it's described as easy and mostly downhill. Based on all of that, I rented a regular bike but regretted that decision later due to the amount of uphill stretches there actually were. Maybe my bike seat was not adjusted to the correct height for me, but I thought the ride was very challenging and my quads were on fire. I was actually worried I might not be able to finish and would die alone somewhere along the trail--and I could barely walk when I got done with the ride. I would recommend older or out of shape cyclists consider renting an e-bike instead of a regular bike. I saw lots of seniors riding back and forth on the trail with big smiles and I realized it was because they were on e-bikes. There is a small store that sells ice cream, water, and has a bathroom (basically porta potties) about an hour into the ride and after that, there is nothing. There is a big grass parking lot behind the building with plenty of room for cars.
