Buttermilk Trail

Buttermilk Trail is a 2.5 mile dog-friendly route which parallels the south side of the James River in Richmond, VA. The trail was aptly named after milkman would store buttermilk in a cool well while delivering milk to our doorsteps. The well in question is still located on the side of the trail. One of the most beloved trails in the Richmond area, take Fido along this narrow, curvy path dotted with small rocks and an abundance of wildflowers. Buttermilk Trail can be accessed by following directions to 42nd Street Entrance or through the Reedy Creek Trail parking lot. The trail is popular with walkers and cyclists so please keep dogs leashed. Visit Website
