New River Trail Biking Adventure

Get ready for a fantastic fall ride! Join us for a scenic biking adventure along the New River Trail State Park, one of Virginia’s most beautiful rail trails. We’ll pedal 25 miles round-trip from Max Meadows to Lone Ash and back, following a smooth, gentle path that winds through woodlands, river views, and charming countryside.

Along the way, we’ll take a lunch break at Foster Falls, home to the historic Foster Falls Hotel, quaint shops, and a picnic area—plus a well-earned stop for ice cream! Bring a bike, your sense of adventure, and your appetite for fresh air and fall colors.
