Great starting point for a day hike. Walk the short connector trail through the woods to get on the Appalachian trail, head left and in about 4 miles you'll hit hay rock. First mile is pretty level, next mile is steeper uphill, once you hit the electric transformer it levels off and you run along the ridge all the way to Hay rock. Great views of the lake and the valley from up on the ridge. Out and back took about 4 hours moving at a decent pace (no kids or dogs) with about 30 minutes at the rock. We went on a Sunday, not very crowded but definitely not the only ones there.
This is my best hike around Roanoke. It's close to the city and has the best views. Sunset hike is the best.
Parking during the week is iffy, since the lot is a park and ride spot, but the trail is great! No real trailhead marker until you meet up with the AT though.
Nice sceneries great place to hike.
Parking lot is the same as the Park and Ride for I81. If you hike all the way to Hay Rock, it is a steep hike for the first half when you reach the electrical transformer, then levels out for the second half as you walk along the ridge. Hay Rock itself I found a bit underwhelming. It is difficult to know that you are even there. It is an excellent view to climb up to the top of the rock, but there are also several other very nice views along the way to Hay Rock. Great hike. Great workout. We were a group of decently fit 20-somethings and it took us about 4.5 hours with 30 min at the top.
