The South River Greenway in the City of Waynesboro links the Loth Springs Trailhead to Constitution Park, home to Waynesboro’s Farmers Market, Arboretum, and the site designated as Virginia’s first Urban Trout Fishery, and in 2019 to North Park.
The 1.3-mile paved path begins at Constitution Park and meanders along the South River and terminates at the Loth Springs trailhead area behind the YMCA. Walkers, runners, bikers, and fishermen will find a peaceful setting to get out and enjoy where good nature comes naturally.
Parking lots at either end, Loth Springs Parking area located behind the YMCA on Arch Avenue, and at Constitution Park, 101 Short Street.

41.3 miles (66.5 km)/2,765 feet (842.8 meters)
Rural roads with beautiful views. Easy to moderate to challenging all on the same ride. One of the oldest towns in the area, Middlebrook sits near the divide between the headwaters of the James and Potomac rivers. The road out of town follows the path of the old stagecoach road south towards Brownsburg. Route 252, follows a very old pathway, used by Native Americans, European explorers and later settlers. A cyclist riding at a leisurely pace will approximate the canter of the earlier stagecoaches!
The loop crosses the divide and rolls down Walkers Creek before turning east then north and gradually climbing back to the start. The land here is mostly open pasture interspersed with woods; the elevation is in spots as high if not higher than some of the passes through the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east.
Mileage: 12.4 miles
Follow the South River as it flows north towards its confluence with the North River. Travel along the base of the Sawmill Ridge and the Blue Ridge Mountains as you make your way back south towards Waynesboro.
