The Blue Ridge Center is an amazing resource for USTR members. With nearly 900 acres of protected land, it affords USTR members a peaceful place to ride and take in the beauty of this area. There are meandering trails and streams lined with beautiful ferns. There are deer, birds, butterflys, flowers and a beaver pond as well as interesting old cabins and homesteads.
USTR has developed and nurtured a partnership with the Blue Ridge Center by maintaining the trails through the conservency as well as providing financial donations from our annual public trail ride(s) at the Center.
USTR members can purchase annual trail tags to ride at the Blue Ridge Center. The Blue Ridge Center is not open for public riding - you must be a USTR member in good standing and you must take an orientation ride prior to receiving your trail tag and the combination to the parking lot.
You must also abide by the RULES .
