Ride. Build. Belong.
Together we keep Richmond rolling.
We’re a crew of local trail lovers working to keep Richmond’s outdoor spaces alive and well. Whether we’re swinging shovels, hosting group rides, or just cheering each other on, we believe trails connect more than just places — they connect people.
If you’ve ever pedaled along Buttermilk, jogged through Forest Hill, or wandered Pocahontas, you’ve felt it too. The Richmond region’s trail network is something special — and it only stays that way when we all pitch in.
Let’s Get Things Rollin’
Trails
Richmond’s trails are unlike anywhere else — rugged, flowy, and right in the middle of the city. From the James River Park System to Pocahontas State Park, we help keep them ride-ready year-round.
Every trail day, every volunteer hour, every dollar donated helps make sure they stay that way.

Keep an eye on our social media - volunteer trail work days are announced there and then added to our event calendar, or shoot us an email if you're looking for a specific type of engagement.

Due to the high volume of users on multi-directional trails and to preserve trail stability, E-bikes are not allowed on the James River Parks Systems trails. In Virginia State Parks, like Pocahontas State Park, Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are permitted on any bike path or trail designated for such use. Please reach out to individual Parks networks before you ride if you are unsure if your bicycle is permitted.

As a general rule of thumb, all trail users should wait 24 hours for every inch of rain that falls - potentially more in the winter when there is less vegetation to absorb water and dangerous freeze/thaw cycles exist that deeply damage trail surfaces. Head to the "trails" page and scroll to the bottom for the "trail report," and follow on facebook or instagram for daily trail status updates.

For JRPS, we recommend Dogwood Dell and Forest Hill Park, though there are smaller free parking areas at many park trailheads. For Pocahontas State Park, users wishing to access the Swift Creek Trails may prefer to leave their car in the paid parking area located on Courthouse Road. To access Lakeview and Morgan trail networks, the main state parking lot provides the closest parking places. Virginia State Parks do have a structure for paid parking, so make sure you come prepared!
