Want to get out of your dorm and take a study break but don’t know where to go? Then head on over to the High Bridge Trail, the longest recreational bridge in Virginia, located in and around Farmville.
The trail runs 31 miles long, and is generally a flat surface, which makes it easy for people to enjoy activities such as biking and hiking. Longwood students are able to rent bikes at various prices ranging from $15 tp $60, for anywhere from two hours to a full day, depending on their needs. They are also able to walk onto the trail and hike for as long as they would like.
In the center of the trail lies the actual High Bridge, which stands more than 2,400 feet long, according to their official website. High Bridge Trail was originally a rail bed, but has since been converted to the trail to connect people to nature and to help people, especially Longwood students, learn about its history.
The trail is open from dawn until dusk, and using the trail is free. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the warm days while they last to take a hike or a bike ride on the trail, and learn some more about what it means to Farmville.
Need a break from studying for that hard math test? Next time try going to the High Bridge Trail to see all it has to offer and learn something new.
