Virginia’s World-Class Rail Trails (Bike Tour)

Do you like the view of the mountains when you ride, but don’t necessarily want to climb them? This tour combines the beauty of the mountains along with river views and mountain streams but requires less effort.

At 57 miles, the New River Trail is Virginia’s longest linear trail park and a cyclist’s dream. Established in 1986 when Norfolk & Southern donated the abandoned railroad right of way to the state, the park traverses rural areas full of natural beauty and connects once-booming little towns steeped in railroad and Civil War history.

Next up is the Virginia Creeper Trail, offering you 34 miles of car-free relaxation. Ranked in 2023 by Travel & Leisure as one of the 15 best rail trails in the country, the Virginia Creeper’s mellow grade and stunning scenery make for the perfect two-wheeled mountain adventure. Both trails are relatively flat and rated “easy.”
