    Lots of hiking trails and bike trails. Large walking/riding track. Soccer field. Nice little park tucked away out in no where.

    This is always a nice place to go. Nice trails, nice views of the river, great fishing and excellent boat ramp access. They have added alot to this "park" to make it a cozy place to just sit and take in nature or enjoy a bike ride or walk.

    Anglers Park is definitely the holy grail for local biking, hiking, jogging and walking. There are so many trails to explore. The trails are labeled well and are well taking care of. There is also a paved trail which provides an amazing scenic bike ride or walk. Anglers Park also has a nice soccer field and picnic area!

    Trails are a little overgrown but we found access to fishing spots easily a little modified terrain not close to waters edge but any bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work

    Loved this hiking trail! There was an easy, medium, and advanced trail! Definitely going back to try the advanced. There's also a boat dock and pavilion for parties. Incredibly great hidden gem here in Danville!

    Some super fun mountain biking. Great single track. There are a few water crossings, lots of cobble size rock sections, mostly short climbs and flowing descents. We were able to do 9 miles in under 2 hours, lots of stopping and checking the map and a few missed turns. There is a bike wash too!

    If it wasn't for the washed out trail bridges I would've given this park a 5 star for biking. I really enjoyed the short paved uphill challenging bike trail that is located to the right of the park restrooms though. Fortunately, it was not affected by the flood. I highly advise that you check your brakes out before you make your way back because you'll definitely need them .

    Beautiful trails. Be careful of snakes and bears. Bring air horn or bear mace, especially if your out alone. Clean bathrooms.

    There are some great mountain bike trails here. Don’t rely. I’m having cell reception though.

    Awesome park. The trails are well mapped on Google Maps, and there are tons of digital wayspots if you play any of the Niantic games (Ingress, Pokemon Go, etc). Cell reception on the trails isn't great but it's ok. I have Verizon and had 1-2 bars of 4G. If you are having issues connecting, try restarting your phone. I didn't try the wifi, not sure how widespread that is. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. It was a little confusing finding where to start, but once I figured it out there were tons of trails to explore. Everything is very well-maintained. I will be back!

    I didn't use any of the park facilities except for the rest room. I use this as a place to park for the Riverwalk Trail. Plenty of parking, it's a good place to start the riverwalk or to use the mountain bike trail.

    Great mountain bike trails. Was here for a race and loved the park. Very nice facilities and the trails were well maintained and signs were well placed. Will be back for another ride soon!

  • 5/5 Tony B. 11 months ago on Google
    Very nice riding area. Lots of really nice flowing trails. I have to drive 2 and 1/4 hours just to get there. And it's nice to have very clean bathrooms! T.B.

    Beautiful place for biking or hiking

  • 5/5 Alex M. 3 years ago on Google
    I went here to ride the mountain bike trails and they are really good! great signage and varied trails, mostly woodland but there are creek crossings and some open sections which as interest. While I was there I also rode the paved Dan river greenway up to Dan Daniel park which was very scenic alongside the river and through 'ghost tree island'.

    Good spot to fish. Caught a 28lb blue a few months back. Just wish the city would look after the dock better. Always slick from mud and gets over grown.
