Hey Forrest (and everybody),
Long time lurker here. Just a heads up to you and anyone else planning SNP trips this weekend that this F/S/Su is UVA graduation (wahoowa!) so that whole area will be super crowded.
Traffic backs up on 29 way north of Cville and the SNP trails will also likely have extra folks on them due to all the families/friends in town. If you really want to fish SNP this weekend, I'd at least head somewhere farther north off of 211/522 or 231.
Have fun!
Jo

Good afternoon folks,--I was hoping to spend a day/evening/morning fishing and hiking around the Moorman's River above the Charlottesville Reservoir this Sat/Sun. However, after looking at several satellite images and a few pictures here and there I have a few doubts about this location.First, for reference: http://www.hikingupward.com/SNP/MoormansRiver/Second, I've located a picture of the sign at one of the parking spots that says no overnight parking. https://healthyincville.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/img_20140709_121734.jpgIs anyone familiar with an alternate location at which I may park overnight and access this river/camp? Does anyone know if such a sign exists at the second parking location on the map, because that first one may just be too close to the reservoir? Obviously there is skyline drive, but even there, is there overnight parking?Third, how crowded would you expect this river to be on a hot Spring Saturday? Both in terms of people fishing and hiking?Lastly, different satellite images show different continuations of Sugar Hollow creek beyond the parking areas. Can anyone confirm if it is possible to continue driving on fire roads or any sort of road there?I'll take alternative fishing/camping location suggestions in the general vicinity of that location too.Thanks for any comments.Forrest
