Great trail to hike while visiting Roanoke! A little strenuous because of its length but mostly…read moreshaded and a great overall trail. Well kept and part of the AT so you'll see a variety of people. Amenity wise, there are port a potties at the main lotbut no trash bins. The main lot is pretty small but there's a shuttle that will carry you for a different parking lot since the main lot only has about 20 spots and can fill up pretty quick. I came on a Saturday in mid July at 8AM and it only had about 5 spots left. As I was leaving, a group was celebrating someone finishing their leg of the AT, so seems also like a good meet point. Trail was great but a little strenuous because length, but the incline actually wasn't horrible. The heat is real in July, so pack your water and some snacks for energy so you can make it back to the parking lot.

This trail takes you on a journey through it all, it walks along side the downtown river & loops you through the woods & through caves! You've gotta take a stroll over the bridge or add a lock to the bridge with your love when in Lynchburg!

The gravel walking trail is easy with minimal hills. There is a small lake you can fish in and lots of benches. The only drawback was lack of map and markers. I wasn't sure if the trail looped all the way back to the parking area or if we had to turn around and go back the way we came, ultimately we did the latter as I have small children and they were getting tired. Not very crowded but we did pass a few others. Looking forward to going back and hiking the whole thing.

The paved path is very wide and fairly level. There are lots of wide open spaces to run around in. It is a good place to go during weekdays, in the Cave Spring area , when you need an easily accessable, quiet spot with a few ammenities and a level, paved walkway. The parking lot is medium siz

Winding turns do not detract from the peacefulness and ease of the drive, they add to them. The feeling of working your way up and then down the opposite side of a mountain gives a feeling of muchness. Not slaying the dragon and saving the princess muchness, but euphoric none the less. Of all that the road gives you, I'd have to say that 'Diversity' is the one word that best suits the Parkway. Diversity of nature as it relates to the change in season. What you see in December is not what you will see in August, nor September to May. Truckers can drive a bit spicey on the open roads, taking the occasional liberty with their size, but that doesn't happen here on this road. Perhaps due to the steep grate, perhaps the twists and turns, any number of combinations -- or just perhaps they too enjoy being so close to natural beauty. No conception of ill temperament can overcome the moment.
