Roanoke River Greenway

A long greenway that runs through the city along the Roanoke River, suitable for cycling, running and riverside picnics.

The greenway follows the Roanoke River through Roanoke and Salem. About 50 km has been completed, with flat, paved paths, riverside parks, small weirs and waterfalls, and several parking areas. Bikes can be rented downtown. It connects to the Mill Mountain trails, so you can hike up to watch the stars. It is open free of charge all day.
