Ivy Creek Greenway

The Ivy Creek Greenway runs parallel to Ivy Creek as it flows through the center of the park. This paved trail is ADA-compliant, making it accessible for everyone. Additional walking trails are located throughout the park and can be accessed from the Ardmore and Tenbury Drive entrances. These paved walking paths offer visitors the chance to explore the park, with the sounds of nearby Ivy Creek and various recreational activities providing a pleasant backdrop. Although the popular exercise course is not a loop trail, it can be accessed from either entrance of the park.

Mountain Bike Trails

Mountain bike trails are located in the Bill Foot Recreational Area, accessible from the Ardmore Drive and Tenbury Drive entrances. This area is named in honor of Bill Foot, a local champion of trail advocacy. Volunteers from the Greater Lynchburg Off-Road Cyclists contribute to the planning, maintenance, and improvement of these trails. There are options suitable for beginner, intermediate, and expert riders, so be sure to select a trail that matches your skill level. See a map of the mountain biking trails here.
