Elizabeth River Trail — Attraction in Norfolk

An urban pedestrian and biking trail along the Norfolk waterfront boasting scenic views, parks, restaurants, breweries, monuments and excellent photo opportunities.

The portion of the trail we enjoyed was along the waterfront at Town Point Park, Waterside Ferry Dock, Nauticus, USS Wisconsin and the Pagoda.

It was a very peaceful place to walk at night with very little foot traffic or bike riders. It was clean and free of visible rubbish with many trash containers located along the route. We enjoyed watching the ferry dock.

We liked the trail so much we explored the Pagoda area after breakfast the next morning. It was quiet, peaceful and scenic.

Such a nice little retreat from the hustle and bustle...

I Never been to down town Norfolk, and I must say the River Trail was beautiful. From the view of the river, to walking near the ship, from the Chinese decor dessert shop that sits right in the middle. I love the area its very bright and beautiful. My sister and I went a couple days ago and saw the young women and men dressed in their prom attire and getting pictures taken it was very beautiful. Just the perfect place for that and picnics, to just walking your pets and enjoying the area. This is a must stop place to go when you want to relax, or unwind from all the hustle and bustle. I will definality come back for I...

I love the ERT. I am just glad that more people don't use it because then it would be too crowded for my taste. I recently created a map of the ERT with the list of Norfolk significant trees and am looking forward to seeing exactly where each tree is in relation to the trail. More later on that. If you haven't checked out the trail, you should give it a try. You will be walking or riding outside in the still fresh air and giving your derriere a break from the couch and your couch a break from you. Have fun...
