A new trail has been built in Front Royal, Virginia. The trail starts in Eastham Park on Luray Avenue and heads south for half a mile along the Shenandoah River. The trail will eventually be part of a larger trail system to be named The Royal Shenandoah Greenway (link to pdf plan). This portion is built on an abandoned rail grade that ran from the Norfolk and Western Shenandoah Valley line (now Norfolk Southern H-line) to an industry.

I noticed bluebells getting ready to bloom along the trail. Also, before the trees leaf out, there are nice views of both the river and the railroad.
