Tall Oaks Trail is a short, moderate mountain biking route in Pocahontas State Park in Virginia, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 0.36 miles with a total elevation gain of 34 feet, so it's a quick ride rather than a long climb. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. 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. July is the warmest month, with highs near 89°F. Several other trails sit within a short distance. Box Turtle Trail and Morel Ravine Trail are each about 0.1 mile away, and Morgan Trail System Access is also close by.
