Confirmed from Cardinal Greenway Union Pike Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Cardinal Greenway Union Pike Trailhead
“The trail is paved and very well maintained.”
“You will see many beautiful, native wildflowers, trees, birds and a chipmunk or two.”
Parking is nice. It is easy access to the trail. They even have a porta-john. It would be nicer if the smokers from Hills Pet food did not park here and throw their cigarette butts on the ground.
This was our first time on this trail. It is a lovely ride out of Richmond. The trail is paved and very well maintained. You will see many beautiful, native wildflowers, trees, birds and a chipmunk or two. We are only recreational bikers but the serious riders will find it to be a great trail as well.
Would always start at the second trail head from the east. First head has horrendous hill in poor repair. Use caution on crossing wooden bridges especially when wet or with leaves
Nice trailhead with water fountains and a port-o-pot. Also has a map of the trail with distances.
