     Swift Run Campground is a brilliant local campground, and if the weather is perfect, you can go for a hike along the Hensley Hollow Trail. A pleasant nearby hotel is Doubletree Hotel Charlottesville. This lake is so wonderful. If you get bored of Allens Pond, you could also stop at close by Chisholm Lake Number One, and while you're here you can take a hike along the South River Falls Trail. And if that's not enough, there's a load more to do near Allens Pond.  
   The smiling folks of Charlottesville like to hang out close by, and here at Allens Pond you can spot Frays Mountain.
For the duration of the long summer days highs here at Allens Pond get into the 80's with night lows in the 60's. The cold days of the wintertime come with highs in the 40's while the cold winter nights at Allens Pond are in the 20's. Going for a hike along the Saddleback Mountain Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood,
 
               and Red Carpet Inn Charlottesville is a brilliant place to get some rest. Float down the rapids of Roach River in a kayak, and don't forget to take a splendid little tour to Beaverdam Creek.
This lake is so wonderful. If you come at the right time of year, Lynch River offers some delightful whitewater, and why not go to Allens Dam if you're here. From a rainfall point of view Allens Pond is a reasonably typical place; during August this area sees the most rain, and the driest month is January. Allens Pond is not the only location close by, Huckles Pond is a close by lake, and why not camp at Heavenly Acres Campground if you're here at Allens Pond.

Charlottesville Reservoir
10 miles away
For years I have been fishing the reservoir, the boat ramp is terrible at the twin bridges, and not enough parking at the dam. Several other fisherman including myself would be more than happy to fix the ramp at the bridges free of charge to the city or county if permission is granted. There is much erosion near the edge of the ramp. Backing your boat in the water is dangerous, trying not to go near the eroded bank. Please call me with a response . THANKS.

Beldor Ridge Trail
12 miles away
The trail may be fine, but I would avoid venturing too deep into Beldor hollow road. These people have lived here for a very long time, and ''dont take kind to strangers''. Just to give you guys an idea, my father worked as a volunteer fire fighter for the Elkton fire department. They got a call for a fire and took a wrong turn. When they went to turn around they had a car, that was not a car that ran, placed in the middle of the road. Quite a feat. After an altercation with the shotgun wielding locals, they were finally pursuaded that someone could be dying while they werent allowing them out. Finally they moved the car back.

Same for several of the hollows around elkton(pronounced ''hollar'' by the local folk). Beldor, Lynnwood, to a lesser extent thouroughfare area. Also Bryant Hollow can be a little rough if they dont reconize you as well....

Staunton River Trail
16 miles away
Incredible hike - park at end of 662, follow Rapidan River to Staunton River Trail - follow trail up to Fork Mt. Road, down to Hoover Road, down to Rapidan hollow, then back to 662 parking area - my guess is 11 miles.  2 50+ adults and an old dog did it in 5:15.  SPECTACULAR!...
