It's easy to locate everything, and people are usually friendly.

What a fantastic, professional, and dedicated team them they have! The boat hotel's services are truly designed for the convenience of boaters, and Carolina Marina's staff absolutely know boaters! Everything about the services - from being able to have the boat gassed up for us in advance of our coming out, to their handling all maintenance for us, to having our boat ready and waiting in the water when we get there - perfect! We have spent more time on the lake the past 2 years (thanks to the extreme convenience of Carolina Marina) than we had in the 5 preceeding years. I should also add that the boat hotel staff make it their business to know their boat owners. If we haven't called in advance of coming out, the minute the staff see our car coming down the hill to park, they go in and get the boat. They know us, and even though we change cars on them frequently, always manage to recognize us and have the boat waiting. They are also super-personable, and will go out of their way to help out. Service is quick, professional and friendly. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Restroom is a short walk away. The whole backside was open land. The whole left side was wooded. There was a picnic table, fire ring and another water source there as well as a small 4 seat wooden table on my wrap around porch! It was perfect. The trails were quite strenuous at times. Its rocky and steep! I took a 9 mile trail, linking trails together to tackle the Little Mountain Falls Trail. Beautiful views. Sunday morning I was on top of the mountain by 10am! Wooo. My pictures won't show the beauty that it was...but I was in love. Sitting on the porch with my binoculars.. I spotted a big, red headed wood pecker just having a blast out there pecking around. So many birds out there. It was very relaxing. - I brought my iron skillet and cooked up some salmon, zucchini and the $0.97 small cup of mac and cheese from Walmart! Fabulous dinner the first night. - I didn't, however go the "beach" or kayak. The roped off beach section, isn't the same w/o kids but I should have gone kayaking. So much to do. This VA State Park is one of my top 4, so far.

Like most VA state parks, they do a cash self-pay entrance, so you would either want to have an annual pass or some small bills. Cell reception was quite limited for me in this remote area, which may be what you want out of coming to a park.

Many trails to chose from, but you can also pick a loop to follow which combines trails and were well marked, options include: Green 2 Mile Loop, Blue 5 Mile, and Red 12 Mile. I think a longer 15+ mile loop is marked as well, but not indicated on the map. Trail Map: http://www.svmba.org/Resources/Documents/Trails1.pdf The Blue Loop trailheads were easily found from the main parking lot, behind the restroom or up the paved trail, past the large picnic area on the left. My GPS had the Blue Loop at 4.6 miles. Very hilly!! Thankfully, mostly shaded, dirt, roots, but not very rocky. Trail shoes nice to have, not necessary. Apparently, the Southern Virginia Mountain Bike Association maintains the trails, does an awesome job too. Interspersed, you'll come across their handiwork, see photo of "Nessie" :) Facilities included: restrooms, large parking lot, bike wash, large covered picnic area, picnic tables in shade along the river, paved path in addition to the unpaved trails. Bikes, horses and pets on leashes were permitted. Mountain biking info/reviews: http://www.singletracks.com/bike-trails/anglers-ridge. Great trails, best I experienced in the area. Enjoy.
