Description

Ramble along the diverse terrain which includes streams, ridgelines, meadows and the Rivanna River, a state designated scenic river. The 800-acre park land was a thriving plantation that grew tobacco, wheat, corn and oats. These products were then transported by bateaux down the Rivanna and James Rivers to the warehouses and markets in Richmond. This is an easy/moderate 3.5-mile hike with only about 300 feet of elevation gain.
