High Bridge Trail State Park...

Biking in an Historic Virginia Area

The 31 mile trail is a linear state park, running on an old rail bed of the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The trail has some easy grades, picnic, parking and restroom/port-a-let facilities. The focal point is the High Bridge, a 2,400 foot long, 60-125 foot high bridge crossing the Appomattox River. The original wooden bridge was built in 1854 and played a role in the Civil War. A steel bridge was built in 1914 with the railroad running until 2004. (Detailed map and photos below.)
