The linear park in southwest Virginia with 57.7 miles of beautiful natural scenery, provides a wonderful biking experience! In our opinion, the New River Trail is one of the top rail trails we have ridden in the U.S.
Galax, Fries, Pulaski, Virginia

I would start by looking at the Trek Dual Sport 1 bike. It has good components and a reasonable price. Trek has several other models in the same price range. Riding trails like we do does not require a really expensive mountain bike. A good bike shop will help you select the correct size bike and then adjust it to fit your physique. We do have Schwalbe Marathon tires on our bikes. They are really tough tires with a great tread for trails. Hope you guys love riding trails with your friends. It’s great to get out in nature and very good for your health!

How frequently are campsites? We want to bike pack this with our 9 and 12 year olds but don’t want to get stuck between camp areas...

We love the New River Trail. We first rode it decades ago and it remains in the top 5 trails of all we have ridden across the U.S.

Thanks for this! I'm working on planning a trip and thinking of starting from the RV park in Fries and doing an out-and-back. Your video gave me a good idea of what to expect regarding trail conditions. We ride a tandem with wide-ish 28mm tires. Glad you mentioned the tunnel - I'll plan an out-and-back toward Galax to check it out!

If I had to choose a short section, I would suggest starting in Draper and heading south toward Allisonia. However, the entire trail is a gem!

Thanks so much for an excellent video. I'm looking forward to riding it this summer. Question: Is it a pretty well groomed trail, or is there a good chance of a tire flat? Would it be about a 6 hour ride one-way?

The trail is well maintained by the state park maintenance staff. We did see one person with a flat tire on his road bike. We have larger hybrid tires. You could ride it in six hours but that would not provide time to stop at points of interest and enjoy the scenery!

When you get off the Pulaski exit from I 81, there is a parking lot just a short distance from the Interstate on the right.
