Please be respectful of our employees and return to your cars on time so they can close the shop and lock the gate.

Full Trail RULES


​No private bikes or horses allowed.  
Since we are a tree nursery, there are too many large holes in the tree rows that pose a risk to horses and bikers.

Grelen Trails a Virginia Treasure

On April 19, 2016, the connector trail linking Grelen to James Madison's Montpelier was officially designated as a “Virginia Treasure” by the Office of the Governor for being an outstanding recreational asset open to the public in the Commonwealth.  Virginia First Lady, Dorothy McAuliffe, and Department of Natural Resources Secretary, Molly Ward, presented the award and then walked the trail with representatives from Grelen, Montpelier & PEC.
READ MORE
The Virginia Treasures initiative focuses on quality rather than just quantity. The program stresses safeguarding significant sites and assets rather than just the numbers. The idea is to preserve, protect and highlight Virginia’s most important ecological, cultural, scenic and recreational assets as well as its special lands.
The VA Treasures Program Website
Co-owners Dan & Leslie Gregg and Zeke Galvin are honored and humbled by this designation and will continue to support the efforts of Orange County, the State of Virginia and PEC to celebrate and preserve land.

Trail Partners

We'd like to thank our community partners PEC and James Madison's Montpelier who have helped to make this dream a reality.  It truly takes a village, and we feel so lucky to have such wonderful neighbors!
