The Blackwater Creek Trail is one of the most popular trails in the City of Lynchburg. Following the winding Blackwater Creek and built on an abandoned railway bed, this 3-mile paved trail is perfect for jogging, walking, and biking and connects to the entire Jefferson Heritage Trail system which snakes throughout the city.  Segments of the trail include a waterfall, an abandoned railroad tunnel, a bridge over the James River onto Percival’s Island and other breathtaking scenery.  Bicycles can be rented from Bikes Unlimited.
