Description

The Frog Pond Trail takes you through oak woodlands to a small pond. The pond is said to have some very large frogs living in and around its shores. Some say this ride is strenuous, but it really is nothing compared to the Blue Ridge Trail. I think it is a great ride with a variety of fabulous views of Cortina ridge, Glascock mountain, and some stunning blue-oak woodlands.

The ride starts the same as the Blue Ridge Trail. You cross the low water bridge of Rayhouse road (a.k.a. road 40), then follow the road to your right. After you pass by the stone barn and stone house, you'll see the trail on the right side of the road. Turn right off of Rayhouse road and begin the hike up to the pond. The trail is 5 miles long, and lassos around, forming a nice partial loop. One of the best short rides in the region. If you are there on a hot day in early summer, take a dip in the frog pond.
