If you're up for an urban hiking challenge, join us as we hike both banks of the James River for this 7 mile circuit.
Our hike begins at the Reedy Creek Trail Parking Lot. We'll head west on the Buttermilk Trail to the Nickel Bridge where we will make our first crossing of the James River. Once we're on the North side of the river, we'll get on the North Bank Trail, passing by Maymont Park, Texas Beach, and Hollywood Cemetery. At the Lee Bridge, we'll use the pedestrian bridge to get to Belle Isle, and make our way back to the Buttermilk Trail.
