Best Richmond driving roads

Purple squiggle

Virginia State Route 6

Also known as River Road, this route meanders along vineyards and cideries on its way from Richmond to Scottsville. With lush greenery and river views, it makes for a peaceful cruise. Spend a little while in Scottsville to enjoy its quirky, small town vibe.

Colonial Parkway

If you’re planning to explore Jamestown, Williamsburg, and/or Yorktown, hit up the Colonial Parkway. This 23-mile route connects these sites and more in an immersive drive through 400 years of America’s colonial history.

Skyline Drive

This perfect ride through Shenandoah Park offers incredible views of the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains, which may be why it’s one of Virginia’s most popular drives. Plenty of pull-off points allow for photo opps and wildlife viewing during a multi-hour drive.
