North Bank
Fast, flowing singletrack with some steep climbs and fast descents. North Bank has good “flow” and is very fast. Be careful of oncoming mountain bikers and pedestrians. Great panoramas of the James River that not many people are able to view are accessible from many areas of North Bank Trail. The trail runs from the Boulevard Bridge to Tredegar Iron Works.
Directions:
There are several places to park for the North Bank Trail. Starting from the west is the Boulevard Bridge North. This is a gravel parking lot at the north end of the Boulevard Bridge accessed from Pump House Road. The intersection of Hampton and Kansas has starts the section of trail that runs along Kansas Ave. to Texas Beach. Parking is available at Texas Beach with the trailhead at the far end of the lot. The eastern end of the North Bank Trail is at Tredegar – from the parking lot, take the trail uphill, across the old canal then turn left and follow the access road.
