Graves Mountain Farm & Lodges
Adventuring at the Farm on 1100 Acres Bordering the National Park
Hiking
Our own 18 miles of trails - easy strolls rising to really tough uphill to 3200 feet - not Old Rag but tough enough to kick a butt or three. It's one of our own two mountains. This one is "Doubletop", the other one - lower - is, of course, Graves Mountain.
Up the classic Shenandoah National Park hikes - Old Rag and White Oak Canyon - both just up our back hollow road - 7 miles.
Fly Fishing
Three mountain streams - two here on the farm and the Rapidan a short drive. Two streams are stocked and natives are higher up. On your own or with a guide.
Pond Fishing
Two ponds. One with bass and catfish, one with stocked trout - seasonal.
Fly Fishing Guided
Learning with one of our guides. He will start you off with a Fly Rod or hone the skills you want to have - like mountain stream fishing for wily natives.
Horse Riding
Trail Rides - 90 Min trail rides through orchards, meadows, woods and up our mountains.
Lessons with Circle H Equine - from "Get to Know the Horse" to high level communication.
Road Biking
Flats through the valley and up rural side turns.
Turn by Turns as set up by the "Tour de Madison", our local road bike challenge in mid-May.
Super challenges to get you ready for a Tour e France if not the Rockies' Triple By-pass. On little traveled roads, you will hear the cars coming, on no verge roads. Here we have bye ways up down and around, up down and around, back down and back-around.
Mountain Biking
Doodling along our dirt roads, riding along meadows, through orchards, by ponds, and streams.
Long pulls up non-technical double tracks to above us - to the top of the Blue Ridge.
Tough, technical scrambles along trails to the tops of our two mountains - strong skills needed on rough trails that are rich in rock.
Mountain Climbing
- learn or hone your skills with our partners, Shenandoah Mountain Guides
Full day - drive up to Old Stony. Minimum of four, please, or check what other groups may be booked so that you can join in and make new mates.
Cascading Down Waterfalls
- wet and slithery
- learning to rappel down the falls in White Oak Canyon. Shenandoah Mountain Guides leads and makes it not seem scary.
Full day - drive up our back hollow road to White Oak Canyon, hike to the top of the waterfalls and start to learn the tools of the slipping and sliding. Minimum of four, please. Weekdays only as too many people in the falls during weekends. We need peace to learn.
Trail Running
Flat around the meadows and orchards
Killer up the mountains
Craft beers when beat
