RiverWalk trail is the ultimate urban/scenic nature walk. Beginning where the Blackwater Creek Trail ends on Jefferson Street. River Walk first travels along Riverfront Park through historic downtown Lynchburg. This section of downtown has become a truly unique area, offering visitors a chance to visit a nationally-renowned children's museum, rent a bike, do some hot or vinyasa yoga, take in some art, or simply grab a pizza and a local pint.

The multi-use trail then crosses onto Percival’s Island, a beautiful natural area with earthen trails criss-crossing its length. The heavily wooded island was once a busy industrial area, including a train yard, but there are few signs of its previous uses now. Visitors enjoy the shade and river breezes from the water, and early morning and evening visitors will likely spot a variety of wildlife along the trail. The trail extends to Amherst County, and visitors can continue along the trail before returning back to Lynchburg across the James. This flat, handicapped accessible, paved trail is popular with hikers, bikers, and runners all year long
