Hit the Trail

Adjacent to the Draper Mercantile is the 57-mile scenic New River Trail. The New River Trail is a mostly flat trail and is part of Virginia’s Rails to Trails program. The trail is ideal for hiking, biking, and horseback riding and covers many beautiful views with river bridges, tunnels and more. Rent a bicycle in the Market at the Draper Mercantile for the afternoon to get the most out of your time on the trail.
