My friend and I have ridden this trail several times. The surface is asphalt and is great. Nothing too steep, either. It is a nice local ride for us. We have ridden the Greensprings and Charles City Courthouse sections and walked the Richmond Riverfront section. I'd have to say the best part is the Charles City Courthouse section because when you are done, there's the Courthouse Grill right across the street from the visitor/parking area--delicious food! It will be nice when the entire route is complete and one can ride from Jamestown to Richmond. Had to knock off one star because the scenery is just OK.

We are from NC and visit family often in Williamsburg. We always bring our bikes and enjoy riding this trail. It is wonderful. Would like to see the Chicahominy River Section and Charles City Courthouse Section connected. Hope it happens soon.

This is a really nice ~6 mile section of smooth pavement for inline skating. Motor vehicle traffic is prohibited, and they seem to do a pretty nice job of keeping the debris clear. The trail parallels Rt. 5 (I think it used to be Rt. 5), is generally flat, with just a couple turns and small hills. I was there a couple Saturdays ago (Oct. 2011) and I met only two bikers during the entire 12 mile round trip. Park at the courthouse and skate-up there, then it's just a block or so to the trail head. Just a couple intersections to worry about. Nice.
