The trail continues across the James River on another trestle, and continues along the James River in Amherst County for another 1 1/2 miles. This is a beautiful scenic walk or bike ride through an historical area. The trail is accessible in Amherst County at the end of Fertilizer Road (Central Virginia Training School).
