Mendota Trail

Great Ride

August, 2026 by jhgqkjyytt

Just had an amazing ride on the Mendota Trail. The trail is well maintained and the views are amazing. I even had to stop to let a deer cross the trail in front of me. I highly recommend the trail.

Dismal Swamp Canal Trail (VA)

Great place to Ride

August, 2026 by w6svjrwv5h

A great bike path to ride and enjoy the outdoors. A great place that is a two car wide paved path with absolutely no cars to worry about. Nice facilities along the way and friendly people. This would be a great place for a family or group ride.

Mendota Trail

beautiful ride

August, 2026 by bradcoltrane70

My son and I rode this on a drizzly Monday, so pretty much had the entire trail to ourselves. We left a car in Bristol, drove to Mendota and rode one way. If you do that, know the drive will take a while on some narrow backroads. Also be aware that the trail from N to S is a steady climb; even a 3% grade can wear you down after 10 miles. The trail is almost all gravel, and the road crossings are mostly across dirt roads. There’s a stop with water at mile 5.5 heading north, mile 7 heading south.

Virginia Blue Ridge Railway Trail

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.

Fries to Galax

Great trail! Day 1 rode a out and back from Fries to Galax 33 miles.

Mendota Trail

nice

July, 2026 by ellen.pierson.3

The first section out of Bristol is nice pavement. Then you hit about half mile of chunky rock. After that trail is great. Nice gravel. Lots of trees.

Riverwalk Trail (VA)

Love This Trail

July, 2026 by bassmonster35

This is a great trail for walking and biking! Great scenic views of the river and wildlife. If you enjoy seeing deer, start at Anglers Park on the early morning. The mostly flat trail is well paved and maintained. If you want hills you can branch off through Dan Daniel Memorial Park, or tackle Stinson Hill which is about 1.3 miles from Anglers Park. The trail is secluded enough to make you forget you’re in the middle of a modern city. Many different trailheads allow walkers/runners to tackle shorter or longer segments as desired.

Virginia Creeper National Recreation Trail

Amazing ride from Abingdon to Damascus

July, 2026 by pjqban

Absolutely beautiful ride! Loved all the long wooden trestle bridges and the gorgeous views. Trail was in excellent condition. I’ve ridden many trails throughout the USA and this one is definitely top 10. The only bummer was that the other 20 miles of the trail are still closed due to damage from Hurricane Helene. As soon as that section is repaired I’m definitely coming back to ride from White Mountain to Damascus.

Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trail

This is one of my favorite trails in the area, it's safe and many of the walkers are friendly.

Dick & Willie Passage Rail Trail

extended

June, 2026 by janskinj

The Dick & Willie Passage is a great trail, especially now that it is extended to 11 miles, 22 round trip. It has to be one of the smoothest trails in the area, aside from the short sidewalk connector. We usually park at the Liberty St trailhead. It has a full bathroom and sheltered picnic table with easy access to trail. Subtle long climb to the switchback, fun descend and cool, shaded ride by the river/creek. More facilities available at Smith River Sports Park
