Richmond Hill Park is Asheville's largest wooded city park. At 183 forested, hilly acres, this park connects the French Broad River and its adjoining wetland complex with the drier woods of the uplands. Its strength is its size, as this park caters to a wide variety of outdoor activities such as disc golf, mountain biking, hiking, jogging, dog walking, bird watching and just seeking serenity. The Richmond Hill Disc Golf Course is a heavily-wooded course with elevation changes in abundance. A full 18 holes are available for play. It is lengthy at 6,093 ft. and is arguably the most challenging woods course in the country. Courtesy of romanticasheville.com

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
