Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve - Virginia Outdoors Foundation

"It seems likely they’re encouraging us to leave one-star ratings. There’s something suspicious happening. It used to be a welcoming place, but then they closed the summit, followed by banning dogs. What’s next, banning humans? There’s definitely a motive behind these changes, and honestly, it’s not even that appealing anymore."

"Nice trails, easy parking, and wildlife. Went on a solo hike on a wet Saturday morning. Saw no other humans, which was pleasant. Saw a number of deer, squirrels, and one turtle. I hiked the green loop, and Strava said it was about 4 miles total. It was easy and flat a lot of the way with some occasional elevations. Trails are marked well, making it easy to get around without worrying if I was on the right path."

"Such a beautiful and peaceful place, I come here to unwind and relax, thank you to the people who run this place, I appreciate very much what you do."

"Visited on a Sunday. There was a good amount of parking and clear maps. The trail was well marked and not too long. It had really nice usage of going over the various streams and takes you near the creek, which was nice to see and listen to."

"A nestled area in Haymarket Virginia. The preserve offers a few hiking trails or limited difficulty and more of a saunter. The trails are all under a beautiful tree canopy with streams and wildlife abound. This trail is good for kids or a quick walk. The overlook is no longer available."
