The Virginia Capital Trail is an ambitious project connecting over 50 miles, four
jurisdictions and two Virginia capitals.
Currently 16-miles are complete: 8 in James City County, 7.5 in Charles City County
and .5 in downtown Richmond. Thirteen more are under construction in Charles City
County, with rest scheduled for completion by 2014.
The VCTF is the principal advocate, raising funds for enhancements such as interpretive
and way-finding signage, bike/pedestrian accommodations and trailhead amenities
including benches, bike racks and shade structures. The Foundation also actively
promotes the trail through numerous initiatives to draw visitors and their tourism
dollars from outside the region and Virginia's borders. We also partner with V-DOT
on construction and alignment issues, working to make the Virginia Capital Trail
the best it can be.
