Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
If you turn left (west), the trail follows the river upstream for about 1 mile along the
river until it reaches the beautiful overlook at Union Street Bridge.
The Riverwalk Trail traces an easy path along the Dan River.
However, the best part of the trail lies to the right, on the eastern side. From here,
the riverside trail will take you on an enjoyable trip through the many beautiful parks
and natural areas adjacent to the Dan River. You'll see a variety of wildlife, including
a goose or two using the trail themselves. Once you pass Dan Daniel Memorial Park,
the trail continues to wind along the river until it concludes at Angler's Park. At the
Angler's Park trailhead, you have the option of continuing on the trail segment toward
Danville Regional Airport.
DIRECTIONS
To reach the Crossing at the Dan, from South VA Business Route 58 in
downtown Danville, take Main Street south across the Dan River and make a
left on Craghead Street. Follow that for approximately five blocks until you see
signs for the train station on the left. The trailhead will be on the far side of the
parking lot.
