This is a quiet 1-mile hike taking the visitor to the banks of the Staunton River. The hiker may turn back onto Loblolly Trail, making it a 2-mile hike or turn right onto River Bank Trail which is a multi-use trail that follows the shoreline of both the Staunton River and the Dan River, 7 miles one way. The walk is through a forest of loblolly pine. A blanket of pine needles serves as the undercover making this a cool respite on a hot and humid Virginia Day. However, bug repellent is high advised.
