Perfect park

Great hike though parking can be tricky.

A little small, but it's also a beautiful place. IDK if it's worth the $20. I will have to go a couple more times to figure that out.

This small park right off the 95 is a VERY tight park for anything larger than a van, be forewarned. Also, there ARE snakes, (poisonous), being in the woods. Didn't have warm water for either of my showers. All this said, staff is super friendly and accommodating.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Julia A Poreda | Oct 31, 2021
Anthony Heady | Oct 31, 2021

I think the weekends leading up to holloween are all taken but the weekend of holloween last checked was still wide open. And yes, there is I believe 3 different cabins. One that sleeps 5, for $50, one that sleeps 6, for $60, and one that sleeps 10 for $70.

Are the trails isolated from roads so that you don't hear traffic while hiking?

Derek Ziemian | Sep 27, 2019
Justin Bailey | Sep 27, 2019

All of the trails are away from any major roads, some go near a couple of small streets within the park (at least on the map) but since people drive slowly if at all i doubt you would be able to hear anything. Ive been on most of the trails and havent heard anything.

The only real dam in the park is at Carter's pond. It is only about 6 feet high (earthen dam). There is a bigger dam farther upstream but that is on Quantico military reservation (Quantico Marine base)

Have there been any Black Bear or Coyote sightings within the park's limits? Would visitors need to maintain safety regulations to prevent wildlife attacks? Thanks.

GEOfinity | Jul 28, 2022
Laura Otto | Jul 28, 2022

They are more scared of you than you are of them... I've never seen one... Coyote's however I have seen and you just slowly walk away... And if you have food in your hand Toss it to them... And continue to slowly walk away.

Why no steps leading from parking up to dog park at Minniville Rd? Slippery. Park poorly maintained. Very dusty. No water access.

Paula Blair | Sep 26, 2020
Barbara Faith | Sep 26, 2020

When we went it had just rained. The park we saw was very well maintained.

Who maintains dog park on Minniville Rd.? The gravel entrance needs holes filled in. It is also very dangerous as exiting and entering the road. Please fix trails leading from parking lot to parkcagedlotParkS5Nstepssteps s

I have 2 questions. 1. This is odd but, do the bathrooms have outlets to blow up an air mattress? One person in my group cant get as low as others. 2. Are there trails friendly for those who have difficulty w/ their balance due to a medical condition

Danielle Geiger | Sep 27, 2019
Jonathan Greenstein | Sep 27, 2019

Daniella, There are power outlets at the bathrooms, as well as outlets by the classroom building. Trails are reasonably accessable, but they are subject to seasonal changes. I would suggest contacting the Rangers to see what the trail conditions are before you go.
