I read that this was a 4 mile straight trail, which sounded short and boring, but we were visiting a friend nearby and decided to check it out. We will be back! We did 12.3 miles total. Started at Carter Park in Ashland and went north for 0.25 mile which was quite pleasant. The trail seemed to end so we turned around. In fact, when leaving afterwards I saw more trail signs north of our turn-around. Then we headed south - absolutely gorgeous paved surface. great signage. part of the trail went though woods with a beautiful understory, then it got more open adjacent to major power lines and such. It would be quite warm on a warm sunny day. We went to Woodland RD and turned right onto what might be a paved, wide sidewalk. We went past a dead-end side street where people had parked to use the trail. We crossed Woodland Rd at a flashing light pedestrian crossing which took us into a very nice quiet neighborhood. Time ran short (we were only expecting to be able to do 8 miles) so we turned around. There is a year round bathroom open at Carter Park which was the only facilities I saw.
Enjoyed this trail tonight. It is now fully paved and incorporated into the Fall Line Trail (see current review for that). It was a pleasure to bike!
Saw this trail on TrailLink and further investigated it at falllinetrail.org and stopped to ride it as we traveled along I-95. We parked by the Northern End of the paved trail in the parking lot for Carter Park and rode it to its current end. It is listed here at 4.8 miles, but both of our bike computers, which match a measured mile, read 5 miles one way. While there are a number of stops for crossroads, we were able to maintain a nice speed on it. There were many bikers and walkers, so I imagine it could get quite busy on the weekends. It is relatively flat, but there are some gentle hills as it goes through wetlands, forests, and fields. The website I mentioned shows planned development, some of it ready for gconstruction. Soon
We just did the 11 miles from Four Mile Park to Richmond. Fully paved. Super smooth. The trailhead at Four Mile Park is gorgeous! It's as big as an interstate rest area. The trail has some longish hills
Love this trail! Nice grades, quiet, not too busy, lots of bathrooms and benches/ picnic tables to stop. High Bridge is lovely with great views. Nice restaurants in Farmville, Charlies is our favorite! Enjoy the serenity and wildlife.
Rode 12 miles today. Started at Bloomsbury Rd., went to milepost 6 (2 miles past Comorn Rd) and turned around. The 4 miles out and back from Comorn Rd seemed more like for mountain biking. Very rough with deep rocks and many exposed roots and RR ties. On the Bloomsbury end there is still rail in place and you must cross the uneven exposed rails once. 2 of the 6 bikers we saw had accidents crossing the rails.
The Ashland Trolly Line is open again and extended as part of the Fall Line trail. It runs about 3.5 miles to the Henrico Co Line. It ends there, but will soon be extended another mile after the Chicahominy River bridge is inspected and opened.
This paved trail is a very nice side trail off the Capital Trail. One of the history markers near Mile 1 of the Capital Trail mentions the Church on the Main. You can see this moving site via this trail, about 1/2 way in. The trail end near the school trends uphill, but not too bad and it's heavily wooded. This is great for a few extra miles.
The trail is in great shape going East from FarmVille. Going West from FarmVille needs some attention. It appears that the area had a storm and a lot of trees fell. Heavy equipment used to remove the trees has left ruts in the trail. We rode for about five miles and decided that it wasn’t going to get better, turned around and went back to FarmVille.
Great ride. Wish the trail had more bathrooms along the trail
