High Bridge Trail State Park - GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION

The Virginia Department of Conservation and recreation invites the public to join local, state, and federal officials as we celebrate the grand opening of High Bridge.  this magnificent and historic, nearly half-mile long bridge is the centerpiece of the 31-mile High Bridge Trail State Park.

After a brief ceremony and ribbon cutting, plan to spend some time on the bridge and trail.  Refreshments will be provided.  Learn more about the bridge and other local attractions while listening to the bluegrass sounds of local band High Bridge.  The U. S. Postal Service will be on hand with a special High Bridge commemorative stamp cancelation. 

This is an outdoor activity so dress casually and wear comfortable shoes.

Guests are encouraged to use the special shuttle service at the parking area to and from the ceremony site.  Shuttle buses will begin running at 9 a.m. and the final shuttle before the ceremony will leave the parking area at 9:45 a.m.  Shuttles will resume after the ceremony at approximately 11:30 and ending at 1 p.m.

All other access lots will be available for those walking or bycycling to the bridge.  Carpooling is encouraged.
