Sugar Hollow 5 Miles with 6 Water Crossings: Medium/moderate level Hike.

The Sugar Hollow (almost) 5 miles hike is quite picturesque and offers six river crossings. If the small parking lot is full, just park on the roadside. We will begin hiking promptly after introduction at 10 AM.

Bring water, snacks, plus hiking poles and shoes that can handle the water. Please dress warm as the temperature will be in mid 30s.
I just went to sugar hollow earlier today and there is not much water in stream crossings. Streams are crossable but you definitely need hiking poles/sticks to maintain balance. Rocks can be slippery when wet. The elevation change is not much, but the trail is interesting and rocky in parts.

Google map worked for me earlier today by setting the directions for "Sugar Hollow Dam and Reservoir; Sugar Hollow Road, Crozet, VA 22932". You will pass a dam on your left. Keep on going towards the end of Sugar Hollow Road, you will be on a gravel road for about 0.5 miles. Sugar Hollow Road ends at the parking lot for the hike. We will meet at this location.
FYI: Sometimes the cellular signal does not work.

Plan yourself with extra travel time if this is your first adventure to Sugar Hollow Hike.
We will spend time to appreciate the nature and the sound of water traversing thru the rocks along the way.

What to Bring/Wear: water, snacks, layered clothing, good hiking shoes and hiking poles/sticks.
