Check the thickets and tangles along the trail for wrens, sparrows, and warblers.

This park offers several habitats: open park land near the parking lot; thickets and trees along the trail; and the James River itself.

The James River Park System includes parks, trails, and many eBird Hot Spots along the river through metropolitan Richmond City. Birding here provides year-round opportunities in a variety of habitats: river, wetlands, riparian woods, river islands, and more.

From the parking lot, the trail leads west (upstream) along the south bank of the James River. It connects directly with the Virginia Slave Trail, leading further west to the I-95 bridge, and downtown Richmond.
