Kids in Parks TRACK Trail

The Rockfish Valley TRACK Trail is located in Nelson County, VA. The TRACK Trail kiosk is adjacent to the Camille Memorial Trailhead, about 2 miles south of Nellysford, on the right just after crossing the Rockfish River on Route 151. Look for the large boulders marking the parking area and trailhead.
