Mountain Biking High Bridge Trail
#146 of 300 mountain bike trails in Virginia
This is an old abandon railroad bed, that was taken over by the Virginia State Park system and converted into a beautiful hike, bike, and horse, trail. It goes over the Appomattox River and over the (hence the name) High Bridge.

This is a state park in Farmville,VA that has a bridge pictured over the Appomatox river. There is a ranger under an enviroshade and the bridge is a mile away. The trail is an old rail bed full of light grey pea gravel. It is incredibly straight and boring after a while. See the bridge, ride to Farmville and get a bite to eat. There were a few miles of single track off between Farmville and Tuttle but they were quite easy as well.
| ThankWay more technical than most of Pocahontas, but too short. There is more. There's a loop under high bridge with a couple step bridges, if it's not flooded.
| ThankI drove out to Farmville and rode the High Bridge Trail. It's not exactly, you know, a MTB trail... It's more of a double track, abandon railroad bed, that was converted by the Virginia State Park system and made into a hiking, biking, and horse, trail. It is incredibly easy, totally flat, and has real small crushed gravel, pea gravel, and packed sand, for a base. It may be considered totally lame or whatever, but, the scenery is beautiful from up on the High Bridge!
