The South River Greenway is a 1.2 mile multi-use trail running along the South River through Waynesboro's Downtown corridor. Views along the way include those of the river, Blue Ridge Mountains, Constitution Park, and remnants of Waynesboro's industrial heritage.
Parking can be found at the trailheads at Loth Springs on Arch Avenue (behind YMCA) and Port Republic on Shiloh Avenue (at Shiloh Baptist Church Auxilary parking lot). Additional parking can also be found downtown at the Arch Avenue and Invista Parking lots.
We have been on this trail too many times to count. Perfect for walking, jogging, scooting for kids, or a short bike ride. If you are biking, you can create a loop with the wide, lightly trafficked downtown roads of Waynesboro (we come back to the trail on Short street to avoid the main downtown road which is more narrow). There are benches, dog bag stations, and a newly installed bike repair station on this trail. I can’t wait until they finish the remaining phases and it is longer. Probably not worth a long drive (yet) but if you are in the area it is lovely. Stay in town and visit a brewery or local eatery downtown.
This trail is nice for a short walk. It will be much nicer once they complete the expansion phases.
Good trail, wish it was longer.
