I live near this trail and bike ride daily. I drive past this trail to the VA trail, as this trail is is in horrible disrepair! Camden County could spend a few dollars to fix it, but seem to think its not worth it! Drive another 8 miles north to the Virginia Dismal Swamp Canal Trail!
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
Very smooth and easy. Ran parallel with wife. Too short. Nice smooth ride.
Enjoyed the flat 5.5 mile round trip. Just beware of people who don’t look before crossing. Stay on bike path - not boardwalk.
This will be. I’ve when it is completed. The Portsmouth section is 2 miles but the ROW extended to the next part.
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.
A nice 7.2 mile round-trip, paved, shady trail with very friendly people. Could probably use more parking, but we rode our bikes during the week and there were plenty of spaces available. The tree roots are tearing up the asphalt a bit (making for a bumpy ride). The trail was very clean with no garbage; it's obvious there are people who take care of it.
A little bumpy at times from tree roots. There is a 3 mile section that has been recently repaved.
Most of this trail is shaded which made for a pleasant ride.
Did the northeast section, Suburban to Nansemond. Have walked it before, but this was the first time biking. A nice, easy, flat, paved trail with plenty of shade. The only problem is the parking. Only a few slots and all but one very skinny one was available.
On March 12, 2025, my wife and I cycled on the ERT. On red gate Avenue under the tall evergreens, her tire was caught in a deep tree route and threw her to the left side. A half hour later she was at the Centra emergency room where she was diagnosed with three broken ribs, hematoma, and her left side a gash to the right knee and multiple bruises. We hope that the officials and trail advocates in Norfolk will take notice ; please post a warning, paint, the dangerous ridges and make plans to repair the section of the trail. A large bush blocked our view until we were right on these obstacles as we headed toward the hay. This was a very traumatic experience. To
