Trail Description:
Ups and downs, switchbacks, rocks, roots, everything the technical rider would want. Watch out for hikers as they are out too. Respect!

The trail can be very fast at times and very slow at others, but fun the whole way through.

How to get there:
Take 4th street down towards Browns/Belle Isle. Go right on Tredegar St. Park under the tracks and go across the river via the catwalk. Go south over the catwalk and out the southside entrance. Hang an immediate right for about 100 yards. Go up the stairs and across the tracks. Look right.

Additional Notes:
The best Richmond has to offer. Right next to the James. This trail can be an incredible ride whe

Very technical. Switchbacks up and down a long hillside. River crossings, some ramps and jumps, boardwalks, a narrow dam crossing and some good rock and log obstacles. The only downside is that there can be considerable washout after a good rain and they do close trail because of it. On those days there are the much more mellow James River trails across the street.
