Daniel Boone lived here and walked to Richmond VA (the then capital). You don't have to walk that far to enjoy the Cultural, Recreational, and Business Capital of the Appalachian Mountains.

Event information
Open Daily from dawn to dusk. Trail is on sidewalks and is mostly level - two very small hills/bridges over the river. The walk takes you through the downtown area of Charleston, through the Capital Complex, and along the riverwalk beside the Kanawha River. During the week it may be possible to tour the Capitol building but this is not part of the walk.
