Elam to Prospect

From Elam to Prospect is a 3.5 mile, easy section of the High Bridge Trail with parking and picnic benches available. This section of the trail also contains an interpretive sign that describes a school bus and train accident in 1951 which took the lives of 5 school children. When traveling on this section of the trail you'll go by green pastures, ponds, and grape vines, that not only provide great views, but also provide great resources for birds and other animals. Traveling east on the trail you may see concrete mile markers which were used by train conductors to gauge how far they were from Norfolk.
