Last week we stopped in downtown, waterfront Lynchburg to eat lunch while passing through. There were bicycles passing by on a trail just outside the restaurant. Upon further investigation, it turns out Lynchburg has a first class trail system, through town, along the James River and beyond. About 10 miles are paved. An old RR tunnel is lighted. Two trestles connect Lynchburg to Percival Island and the far side of James River. I watched canoes and kayaks negociate some easy rapids from one trestle.
The downtown area is going through some renovation, especially riverfront. Lynchburg is an active railroad town. I saw several trains run along the river during my short visit.
