Ragged Mountain Trail (VA)
Ragged Mountain Upper Trail out of Charlottesville Va is one of the best trails around the area. It’s about 70% single track with some spots technical that goes around the entire lake. Start at the bottom parking lot. Start the trail going counter clockwise, continue going up to higher elevation. A little over 1 mile you’ll veer left in front of large water tower instead of taking a right. Later on once you cross the floating bridge you’ll take a sharp left then another left to go straight up a steep incline.
