Since 1996, the Huckleberry Trail has provided Blacksburg and Christiansburg with a pleasant place to ride a bike, walk, run, or rollerblade away from traffic, and a vital non-motorized transportation link between Blacksburg and the New River Valley Mall.
Plans were always in place to extend the trail at both ends: past the mall and over Hwy. 114 to the Christiansburg Recreation Center; and through the Virginia Tech campus to the Jefferson National Forest.
It has taken a long time for all the pieces to fall into place, but now the entire trail may be completed in 2-3 years.
