FARMVILLE, Va. – A public comment meeting for High Bridge Trail State Park will be held on October 6, 2025. The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. at the Town Council Meeting Room, 2nd Floor, Town of Farmville, 116 North Main Street.

The purpose of the meeting is to obtain feedback on the preliminary recommendations of the proposed master plan, including the park ’s mission statement, interpretive themes, goals and objectives and recommendations for new and improved recreational facilities. At the end of the meeting, the public will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on the proposed development plan.

“We encourage the public to join us and partake in the meeting so they can have a better understanding of the park and its future amenities,” said DCR Environmental Program Planner Joshua Bateman. “Parks are for everyone, so we really appreciate hearing from the public so we can enhance our parks while bringing together our community and providing a safe recreational space for all.”

Come learn about what’s being proposed at High Bridge Trail State Park and submit your comments either in-person or by email at PlanningResources@dcr.virginia.gov.

High Bridge Trail is 32.2 miles long and ideally suited for hiking, bicycling and horseback riding. Once a rail bed, the trail is wide, level and generally flat. Its finely crushed limestone surface and dimensions make it easy to enjoy. The park’s centerpiece is the majestic High Bridge, which is more than 2,400 feet long and 125 feet above the Appomattox River. It is the longest recreational bridge in Virginia and among the longest in the United States. High Bridge, a Virginia Historic Landmark, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The trail is a National Recreation Trail recognizing exemplary trails of local and regional significance, connecting people to nature, to each other, and to our shared history and culture.

If you have questions about the meeting or the master plan process, please reach out to the DCR Planning and Recreational Resources division here.
