This is primarily a connector trail so if you do a lot of the trails in the park you will hit it sooner or later.

Extremely clean park areas and the trails were clearly marked. Great for an easy run, as there are practically no inclines. One thing I learned quickly about this park is to bring the bug spray! The biting flies are incessant. Other than that, very enjoyable and relaxing.

Beaver Loop York River State Park

It was a beautiful day for a walk. For a short beginners trail, this trail has a lot to offer. From big river to quiet woods. You walk past a fishing lake and a little furthur down you come to a side trail to Fossil Beach.

A really excellent hike. Dog friendly but dog must be leashed. My boyfriend, my dog, and I had a great time hiking though the woods next to peaceful streams and checking out all of the ruins on the path. Part of the trail was closed but we still had a great time.

Historic Jamestowne - Island loop
by

209 Completed 207 Reviews

Three miles of this trail is the three mile loop. Half way around you get the option of taking the shorter route back or continuing on to the end of the island for a fiv mile loop. I saw two of the biggest deer that I have ever seen. They were antelope size. Unfortunately by the time I got my cell out and in camera mode, they were gone.
