Oct 8, 10 AM ~ Floodwall Loop

Today's 3.6 mile hike will begin and end in the Floodwall Visitor Parking Lot located across Hull Street from the Richmond Railroad Museum near 1st Street. We will follow the South Floodwall west to the Manchester Bridge, admire the cityscape from the Manchester Overlook, and cross the river on the Potterfield Bridge. We'll take a break on Brown's Island, pass through the Murals Gallery and follow the Canal Walk to the Mayo Bridge. Once back on the south side of the river we'll continue east on the Floodwall to its terminus at I-95. Manchester Road will bring us back to the starting point.
It will be about time for brunch when we finish and Cafe Zata is just up the street. That's my plan anyhow!
