Riverview Rookery and The Pipeline

At the end of 12th Street in Richmond, Virginia, one will find the pipeline or sometimes called the Trestle Trail. From this vantage point one can walk on the pipeline to see the Pipeline rapids on the James River and the Blue Herons that visit this location annually. This location is a part of the James River Park System

The Pipeline is located below the CSX Train Viaduct. The James River flows below the Pipeline and is a favorite location to view the Great Blue Herons on their riverview rookery.
