Overview of the Experience
Join Roanoke Parks and Recreation for a progressive lunch tour of the Roanoke River Greenway. The Roanoke region is home to over 400 miles of paved and natural surface trails and counting. The greenway provides not only connections to exercise, nature, neighbors and employment but also entertainment and local food!
