🎂The Elizabeth River Trail Foundation is turning 10 years old this November and we’re celebrating the only way we know how: by lighting up the Trail along The Glowline! Join the ERT community for an extra-special evening celebrating a decade of the people, places, partnerships, and experiences that have shaped the ERT.
discover the Elizabeth River trail
Since 2003, the Elizabeth River Trail has connected segments of Norfolk’s working waterfront with scenic routes past historic landmarks, local gems, and beautiful parks highlighting the diversity of Norfolk and providing a riverfront sanctuary amongst the urban energy of our City. The trail connects 28 unique neighborhoods and will expand East continuing along the Elizabeth River allowing even more neighborhoods to be within a five minute walk of the Trail. Our goal is to create the most connected, accessible and resilient riverfront trail in the country. Meet the foundation, see our vision, and learn how you can help.
