This is a hidden gem. I recently found this trail when looking for a MTB bike trail to ride. I was…read morevery surprised to find it. There is a little way to the actual trail so the "trail head" is longer than expected. Once you drop down from the parking lot you ride the fence line close to an apartment complex. You'll then cross an open area. Prior to dropping into the trail there is a very steep downhill section that curves to the right. I'm not a very experienced biker and had to hop off because of the grade and cut back. You'll cross a 18-24 in wide footbridge to get to the trail. This is where the fun begins. I ride left at the trail which is a big circle. There are sweeping downhills and pretty steep uphills for the first 1/4. Some tree roots and a small ditch to traverse. The second 1/4 is a choppy section that has some rock features and continues the uphill grade. A few of cut backs in this area but not too many to make the ride difficult. The third 1/4 is the part I dislike the most. It's only slightly up hill but has a lot of cut backs and some tight rides through trees and logs. It isn't technical, just a little too many tight squeezes. The last 1/4 is my absolute favorite. It is carved out of a old stream. It's all down hill (not massive just so you don't have to pedal). You travel up and down through the banks in the first part and then you travel right down the middle. Passing under a fallen tree and through the woods. It's so much fun! Overall a great trail. Not a lot of traffic but some. The trail is a big circle but it also has mini-trails that I've never tried that spoke through the outer circle. It's multi-use so you'll encounter walkers and joggers. It's only about a 2 1/2 mile trail so you'll have to ride it a lot for a good work-out.

He took the time to explain different types of bikes to me. We checked out acoustic and e-bikes. He asked detailed questions to see what I was looking for. I ended up trying a Verve +3 lowstep e-bike. Bryan took the time to answer all my questions about the bike and dive into interesting facts. His knowledge felt endless on bikes! Before trying the bike, he filled it with more air and tested its safety. He gave me a helmet and I got to test the bike in the Libbie Mill area. It was a fantastic bike! Although I didn't purchase it this go around I definitely will be back for any e-bike needs.

Finally got to experience the Riverfront Canal Cruise for the first time for my birthday! It was a…read morereally fun time and I found the seats to be surprisingly comfy. Our cruise was quite full, so I would recommend getting their around 20 minutes early if you have a preference of where you sit. The ticket prices felt very fair as they were about $15 each for a 45 minute ride. It is in the heart of downtown so its mainly street parking, there is a paid lot slightly further down that is 12 dollars for the day. The cruise itself is fun as you float down the canal and learn more about the history in the area. We went around 3pm which was the perfect time as it wasn't too hot but still sunny enough to enjoy. While I had a great time, I think it was more so a novel experience. The ride felt a bit short with the sights remaining quite consistent since the canal is small/short. I don't think I would do it again as it would feel repetitive, but for the first time canal cruiser I think they would have a great time!

This parking frees up rather quickly and many people were kind enough to offer up their spot. The Ship Lock Canal runs along the park to cross over to Chapel Island. It was clear that the area is being protected and restored as it is part of the historic William H. Trigg Shipyard Dry dock or Caisson, that originated in the late 1700s and served as the home of destroyers used in the Civil War. The area is rife with wildlife, which is why the city is heavily invested in habitat restoration. So it is a good place for a short hike and and a place for reflection.

As with much of the Richmond riverfront, this area has a sense that the old industry was simply abandoned, and the disused canal lock with its flamboyant gate has a ghostly vibe to it.

There is a much longer trail system of which this area leads into, and there is plenty to do along the river.
