You can see wild life, you can hike a short trail or make it more challenging and hike for miles along trees adorned with moss and take a picnic at the little beach. If you'd prefer to go mountain biking - the trails are wonderful for that too!

Arts & Culture
Colonial Williamsburg is only about 50 minutes away - well worth a drive to check out actors walking around in the garb of the day in colonial times. Eat at the taverns there and go shopping at the outlet malls there or come back to this way and you can check out the new premier outlet malls at the border of Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
