... for repairs, says a sign on the trail at Rice. This bridge is between Farmville and the High Bridge.
One of our very favorite trials. Well maintained and beautiful scenery all along the way. Nice restroom midway and picnic table at the end to take a break. Whenever we have gone on the weekdays it has never been busy.
I rode this trail with my son, between mile marker 4 East and 4 West of the new visitor center. Trail is well maintained and High Bridge is a special land mark worth a visit. We enjoyed the ride.
I rode this trail on an letrick trike XP, on a very warm day with lots of sunshine. Out to mile marker 4 turned around and returned in a downpour. Weather can be fickle in mountains. Loved the trail and the views.
Strava mileage 14.47. Great beginning, VERY confusing in the middle, great end. Signage in the middle like there is on the rest of the trail would have been super helpful.
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.
This was a great short ride for us and our 4 year old. Mostly flat or low grade hill from the east trailhead! Be sure to bring a headlamp or flashlight if walking.
The trail is in great condition. The combination of shade and open sky made it a pleasant ride in low 80s temps.
Only a few minor repairs need to be made- steps for riders on both sides of the bridges are needed to dismount their horses- a few bridges were missing them. Also, there is a board sticking out into the path on the long bridge at mile marker 4.5. It looks like they tried to repair it, the board needs to be replaced.
I love that you are along a river a lot of the time and cross a river multiple times. The trail is mostly shaded. Tons of interesting birds sing in the spring. The bathroom at Rose’s Mill is a plus. They tell you not to drink the water but after I did by mistake I suffered no ill effects. I encounter people on any day of the week, but definitely on the weekends. I highly recommend this trail.
10 mile asphalt trail with few root-cracks and little shade (I'm beginning to suspect the two are related). No road crossings except for the well-marked, half-mile detour through a quit neighborhood for major bridge construction. There is no longer a gap between Bridge St. and Salem (despite the Traillink narrative and map), asphalt extending to Cook Dr. That access has a porta-potty.
Quiet, flat, maintained, mostly shaded, along the Piney river with benches and the occasional picnic table. Port-a-potty at the Piney River trailhead, running water bathroom at the Roses Mill trailhead .
