About This Trail

Centered on a majestic 2,400-foot-long bridge standing 125 feet above the Appomattox River, this 32-mile rail trail stretches across three counties on finely crushed limestone. Virginia’s longest recreational bridge anchors a flat, wide corridor ideal for hiking, cycling, and horseback riding.
