The Williamsburg Rail Trail starts from Route 9 in Williamsburg, a pleasant state highway with a good-sized paved shoulder (most of the time) and "Share the Road" signs. The trail starts about where the road turns as far as you can see in this picture. | The trail is pleasantly shaded, with a ridable dirt surface. |
Eleven-year-old Sarah with our tandem shows how wide the path is. | An old dam sticks off the trail providing great views of the river along which the trail proceeds. |
Here is the view from the dam. | This is the other end of this section of the trail. |
