Richmond Virginia's Buttermilk Trail is a multi-use trail that spans approximately 2.5 miles along the James River. it consists of 3 distinct sections.
>Buttermilk East, 0.6 miles, Manchester Bridge to 22nd Street
This segment plays a crucial role in the vast array of connecting James River Park System trails
>Buttermilk Proper , 0.9 miles, 22nd Street to 43rd Street
>Buttermilk heights, 1.5 miles, 43rd Street to Boulevard Bridge, (Nickel Bridge)
The Buttermilk Trail has multiple different parking access points and street parking areas. This is great as it promotes both equitable park access, and increased fluidity of the trails apart of the James River Park system.

>I love this idea of multi-entry access trails as it reminds me of bus commuting. you get on at one stop then walk (or mountain bike) the trail till you get to your next stop.
>The Buttermilk Trail is beautiful, and its also a great alternative commute route!
