It is called Percival's Island Trail where it follows the river and the Blackwater Creek Trail where it climbs the creek, and together they thread through what would otherwise be one of the more car-dependent small cities in Virginia. Lynchburg sits on seven hills above the south bank of the James, two hours west of Richmond and twenty minutes north of where U.S. 460 meets U.S. 29. Amtrak's Crescent stops once a day on its run between New York and New Orleans. The Northeast Regional comes through twice. This is a town that rewards visitors who slow down for it.
