This trail is over 52 miles of paved bicycle path that connects Richmond to Williamsburg to the east. After breaking ground in 2008, sections of the Trail were dedicated over the ensuing years, and Great Shiplock Park marks its western terminus. From Richmond, riders enjoy the beauty of the scenic Route 5 Corridor from the safety of the Trial.
