The Best Hiking Trails in Richmond

This is one of my favorite parks that I have ever been to. There's nice trails, but also more rugged terrain if you're feeling more adventurous. There's calm pools of water, or rapids to enjoy. There's old torn down historical buildings, perfect for urban photography, but there's also plenty of nature. There's people and dogs and bikers. There's plenty of nearby street parking. There's sunshine but also shade. I have visited here twice now, on both my trips to Richmond, and I can't wait to come back for this park!

I absolutely love this park, and it helps that I live in the neighborhood too! This park can be accessed 365 days out of the year and is open until sunset. There are so many cool amenities that come with the park, such as: soccer fields, disc golf course, a playground, volleyball courts, tennis courts, picnic benches, etc. If you ever feel like doing anything outdoors, Bryan Park probably has something for you to do! There are also some cool walking trails and pathways for you, and your furry friend. The park also offers some classes on nature, bird watching, etc. You just have to check the calendar online to see what they offer.

We took this trail in sections from Richmond to Jamestown. It is rolling hills for the most part, with great small eateries along the way. Some sections can be really hot in the summer but for anyone who likes to bike it is a fantastic off the highway ride. For the serious biker the trip can be done in a day. Spend the night and return to your original point whether it is Jamestown or Richmond.
