The Eastern Shore of Virginia Rail Trail is a dedicated, paved bicycle and pedestrian rail trail currently under construction on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. When completed, it will cross Northampton and Accomack Counties, running 49.1 miles (79.0 km) from Cape Charles to Hallwood along the right of way of the abandoned Bay Coast Railroad.
Construction on the first 3.5 miles of the trail, running from downtown Cape Charles to U.S. Route 13 and Cheriton, began in April 2025 and is expected to complete by Fall 2026.[1]
