Ragged Mountain Natural Area

The Ragged Mountain Natural Area is beautiful this time of year. The loop trail is a 6.6-mile moderate trail around the Charlottesville Reservoir. This is a different experience than hiking in Shenandoah National Park; it's more like an extended nature walk with a few challenges. Sorry, no dogs allowed.
