Great hiking area! For beginners, you can go around the pond. For a moderate 3 mile hike, there’s Joe Pye, lady slipper, and poverty creek with some elevation. Well maintained and marked. Very few people on the longer trail. Some mountain biking and horses!

Beautiful walking trail, wild flowers, birds, turtles, frogs, toads and appeared to be a comfortable amount of people. Not overcrowded and not abandoned. They have fishing, horseback riding trails, and lovely scenery

What a great place for a hike or stroll. We did laps while our blind(!) friend jogged around the perimeter of the pond.

Beautiful pond! There are public restrooms too (not port-a-potties), which is great.

In January 2026, I visited Pandapas Pond Day Use Area to find a dog-friendly park and walking trail. This place had several pluses. First, it's a clean dog-friendly park maintained by the U.S. Forest Service and offers an easy walking trail around the pond as well as a variety of longer hiking trails. Second, it's only a 10-minute drive northwest from the Virginia Tech campus. Third, Pandapas Pond has a free parking lot that is just a short walk to the pond. Finally, various signs noted the pond is stocked with trout at other times of the year. Hope to return on a warmer day in summer or fall.
