Tips from locals
Great hikes...A riverside area located south of Maymont and west of Hollywood Cemetery. The area is named Texas Beach after Texas Avenue in the Maymont neighborhood, which was the original street to reach the recreation area. Today, it served via the North Bank Trail. The area is home to numerous river beaches, a skatepark, and mountain bike trails. - Wiki
Access point to the James River, very popular local hangout with stunning views! Named after the entrance, which is off of Texas Avenue. 8 min Uber, then about 15 minutes hiking to get to the best river views. Bring some towels and lie around for a while.
At the end of Texas Ave. Long trail leads to isolated sandy beach areas and sunbathing rocks and connects to the Belle Isle Pedestrian Bridge to the east. Parking for 30 cars.
