River Walk is closed for a new greenway but, most other areas closed to vehicle traffic is open to hiking/walking. Historic mill village is nice! Took our wedding photos there.

The Memorial Bridge of Roanoke supports the Roanoke River Greenway and has wide sidewalks on both sides of the car lanes that bikes use. The bridge has two-lane traffic and spans 785 feet across the Roanoke River. While riding here, pay attention and find all five plaques, with quotes from Patrick Henry, Theodore Roosevelt, Stonewall Jackson, and Thomas Jefferson. The last plaque has the names of World War I victims.

Wasena Park is a green space along the Roanoke River. The Roanoke River Greenway bike-friendly path runs through the park, and the park offers a playground, two picnic shelters, the Roanoke Skate Park, a baseball diamond, a basketball court, ADA-accessible picnic shelters with tables, lights at night, electrical outlets, and grills, as well as ADA-accessible restrooms.

The Roanoke River stretches 410 miles through southern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. It is a vital habitat for large numbers of fish, birds, and mammals, as well as a recreational area for locals.

The Gauntlet is a fairly straight line with a series of jumps which can be easily avoided by those who are sparing their joints, or those who want to carry more speed. Great fun!

Explore Park consists of miles and miles of trails across hundreds of acres. You'll find rolling hills, meadows, river access, historical buildings, and dense woodlands. You'll have plenty to do whether you stop for just an hour or decide to spend the day.

Brushy Mountain (2,382 ft), offers a beautiful view of the McAfee Knob southern part, such as the Carvins Cove Natural Reservoir. It is worth a little stop to appreciate the landscape below us.

This bit is a lovely paved walk along the Roanoke. It is a very charming walk during sunny and warm days!
