The Elizabeth River Trail (ERT) is a biking and pedestrian trail in the City of Norfolk that has transformed several former railroad rights-of-ways, connected predominantly by off-road and some on-road trails, into an urban trail. The trail provides recreational and educational opportunities as well as an alternate mode of transportation from the Norfolk Naval Base, located in the northern portion of the city, into downtown Norfolk. The trail offers scenic views of the Elizabeth River and interpretive markers tell the history of the area and environment. For more information and a map of the complete trail visit norfolk.gov/bike.
