Blueberry Hill is a mountain biking route in Pocahontas State Park in Virginia, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The ride is an out-and-back of about 5.3 miles, with a moderate climb of 136 feet from a low point of 137 feet to a high of 270 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Petersburg show October highs around 72°F with lows near 48°F, and April highs around 70°F. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the hill run a little cooler. The Forest Exploration Trail and Hawkins Forest Trail both start about 0.1 mile away, and the Lakeview Spur mountain biking route is about half a mile off. Paddlers can reach Licking Creek, about 4.5 miles away.
