A high-speed, singletrack, the Northbank Trail is moderately difficult combined with its tight turns. Hardened clay has allowed this track to be heavily sculpted in areas, creating a roller coaster flow to the trail. Because of its speed and lack of true hill climbs, the Northbank is a fun, short ride. Hikers will enjoy stunning views of Belle Isle and Hollywood rapids at many vantage points closer to the Eastern trailhead. *Courtesy of Richmond-more.org
