We will hike around 3-4 miles starting at the first parking lot at Forest Hill Park after you turn off of 42nd Ave (where the South of the James Market is held). We will hike down to the lake on Forest Hill Park Loop, cross Riverside Drive and go down toward the Reedy Creek headquarters of the James River Park System. We will travel west paralleling the river and the Buttermilk Trail and rock hop to an island. We will then retrace our steps going east past the headquarters and rock hop on the rocks adjacent to Belle Isle. We will then return to Forest Hill Park via the Buttermilk Trail and Forest Hill Park Loop.
