The trails are a great addition to the area, however they need to make sure they don't add too much parking to it so it doesn't get overloaded like everything else in Hampton Roads. You don't want to have to duck and weave a million people if you're walking or riding.
This is a great flat and wide paved beginner trail. It has now been extended east and is 3.5 miles long. Some parking, port-a-john, and bike repair station with tools at each trail head.
We had the opportunity to ride the trail while on our way to Kiptopeke State Park. I had read about the trail in the guide book "Virginia Rail Trails" by Joe Tennis.
The trail is paved, flat and short (2.5 miles) but can be combined with the many bike friendly trails at Kiptopeke State Park for a longer experience.
There is good access to parking at both ends.
While not a destination trail on its own it's certainly worth doing if in the area.
Hopefully it will be extended North in the future as proposed.
My family and I love this trail. We went alot last year. Today, was our first trip of the year. We arrived at 1030 am (its a Thursday) and all of the spots were taken and vehicles were parallel parked on the grass. Luckily, i squeezed in there but since the trail is expanding more people will want to use and 6 spots are nothing.
There is now a small 6 spot parking area off Towne Point Rd. just past the VFW hall at the Suffolk terminus.
Great riding and walking trail for the family and community,hope other cities connect. Suffolk Parks and Recreation and Ms. Helen Gabriel should be commended.
Love it... well done with plans for expansion...open since Jan 2 and already the parking area is too small... and 10 minutes from my house! ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
This is a really nice trail through beautiful central Suffolk. Adjacent to the historic Driver Village it makes for a great destination spot. The last 1 mile leg from Shoulders Hill Road to the Chesapeake City line has been recently completed now making the trail 3.3 miles one way. You can pick up the trail either at the Driver Village location or the Townpoint Road trail head / parking lot which is located on Townpoint Road adjacent to the Chesapeake city line. Beautiful foliage, glimpses of wildlife; and birds and butterflies galore! Crossing the Quaker Neck Bridge is pretty cool as well. Wheelchair users will love the smooth flat paved surface.
This trail has been extended and now runs 3.5 miles in one direction. Trail was perfect for my easy 7 mile run. It would also be great for a bike ride . . . I'll be back!
Love this trail to bike or hike with the dog. Lots of shade.
We enter this trail by turning off of route 60 onto the entrance that says Trails. Plenty of parking about 1/4 mile in. From the parking lot it is 4 miles to the other end of the park. All hard packed sand and shady. What I like about this trail is that the ride can be extended. After the 4 miles follow the road to Atlantic Ave. Follow Atlantic Ave. on a off street path towards Va. Beach. At the Cavalier Hotel cross the street, turn left in one block and the entire bike path along the boardwalk is in front of you - with plenty of restaurants. This trip averages 17 miles for us - you can go farther.
