The James River Foot Bridge carries the Appalachian Trail over the James River and is the longest foot traffic-only bridge on the Appalachian Trail. Located 15 miles from campus, it makes for a quick trip and the perfect day hike. 🌲🥾 The bridge also doubles for picturesque views and a fun place to walk your cute new puppy! 🐶😊 | Southern Virginia University
