Tips from locals
Awesome park across the river from downtown. Plenty of places to explore and some spots to swim in the river from!
Experience a park like no other here in Richmond! This beautiful gem is accessible by the suspension bridge with breath taking views of the James River. Once you arrive, enjoy strolls on the winding trails, sun bathe on the banks, rock climb over the quarry, or even ride bikes on the bike/BMX obstacle course!
Near Brown’s island, cross the footbridge to unique Belle Isle. On the island, stroll along the wide walking path with stops to walk onto the rocks on the James River. When the water is low, you can get out pretty far! Keep an eye out for Heron nests. Finish the island loop and stop to watch people of all ages in the skate park.
