Lakeview Too Loop is a mountain biking route in Pocahontas State Park in Virginia, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The loop is an out-and-back ride of about 3.3 miles, with a low point of 148 feet and a high of 205 feet. The climb is rated hard, and the one-way elevation gain is 61 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 about 186 feet lower than the loop, so temperatures on the route run slightly cooler. Lakeview I Loop and Lakeview III Loop are each about 0.3 miles away, and the Troopers Tribute Loop hike is about 0.4 miles off. For paddling, Licking Creek is about 3.4 miles away.
