The Roanoke Star was installed in 1949 and Mill Mountain’s trails grew out of community volunteer trail-building linked to the city’s outdoor recreation push.
Trails are actively maintained by local organizations; riders are asked to avoid muddy trails, ride only open routes, and support local trail stewardship.
Roanoke Mountain Adventures operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
