James River Heritage Trail

This Blacktop hiking/biking trail is currently accessible from Percival's Island Natural Area. The Trail Extends from Lynchburg's Blackwater Creek Trail, crossing the railroad trestle onto Percival's Isle from Lynchburg. It traverses the island for about one mile along an old railroad bed. 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).
