In Syria, you can plan your stay around specific trail destinations, guided horseback rides, and local provisions.

There is also a general store with equipment and regional foods. If you’re looking for a vacation rental in Syria, first decide which of these experiences you want to shape your stay.
Hiking Trails and Directions
The Cedar Run Trail connects with the Whiteoak Canyon Trail near the park boundary in Syria. The Berry Hollow trailhead is on Route 600 near Syria and provides access on foot and horseback. These two reference points offer different kinds of information: one describes a connection between two trails, while the other is a trailhead with two ways to access it.
On the approach to Old Rag Summit via Berry Hollow, turn right and then left onto Route 600 in Syria. To reach Lower Whiteoak Falls, first travel 3.6 miles to Route 643 in Syria; then continue 0.8 miles on Route 643 to Route 600. The directions answer different questions: for Old Rag, they give the sequence of turns; for Lower Whiteoak Falls, they give the distance in two sections and the turn onto Route 600. These specific route details help distinguish between the two destinations.
Guided Horseback Rides
Guided horseback rides are offered at Graves Mountain Farmyard in Syria. The tours pass through streams, open fields, orchards, and wooded areas; the maximum group size is eight riders. The landscapes listed give you a concrete idea of what the tour passes through, while the group size is another useful point of reference for planning.
Berry Hollow provides access on foot and horseback; guided horseback rides are offered at Graves Mountain Farmyard. This information helps distinguish between two different ways to enjoy the outdoors: access at a trailhead and a guided tour. When choosing your activities, you can decide which option better suits your planned stay.
Equipment and Meals to Go
The Graves Mountain Market-Deli-Tackle & Post Office in Syria is a general store with hiking and camping equipment, regional foods, and produce. The deli sells prepared meals to go. These offer two practical points of reference for planning your day: equipment and regional groceries for getting ready, as well as a prepared meal you can take with you. If you’re considering both trails and horseback rides during your stay, you can include the market in your plans as a place to find equipment and provisions.
