This is a bike trail/path that runs the length of the current Nimmo Parkway plus a little off road, totaling just over 3 miles. The trail begins at the Princess Anne Rec Center, VBFD Station 21 and ends at Ashville Bridge Creek. The first 2+ miles are paved, while the last mile is dirt that gets rougher, the further East you go. The end of the trail is a nice grassy patch that looks like a nice place for picnic. Even though the last section of trail is pretty rough, there are imporvements that make it doable on most bikes with fat tires.

The pictures are kind of backwards, shooting into the sun was a bit of a challenge..
