Powhatan State Park
This is a very nice small State Park with good Walmart walking trails. There's a wonderful river that flows through but unfortunately no kayakers new rentals available here they have a campground can you launch some riverfront access points. A camp store with limited items. Overall a nice well-maintained Park Jeff fun come out and enjoy any time of year. Today is the annual paw paw festival which if you don't know is fruit native to Virginia and is available on lots of trees throughout the park if you're interested in tasting
The Rotunda
A beautiful and historic place.. built by 4000 slaves.
Goatocado
A delightful low key super delicious health vegan(mostly) spot. The thai noodles are incredible. Quaint outdoor seating with table top for pits. Highly recommend.
Pocahontas State Park
Bike or hike or be in love with the outdoors.
After now several years of biking here, I could say that it's truly and amazing special place. The trails are all very well maintained. I recommend coming in off of courthouse road which puts you at the main entrance to the trail hub. Parking here is between 7 and $10 per day or you can get an annual pass for 87. Which also get you into all state parks in Virginia for a year. There are a lot of trails here and no one should be intimidated to ride here. I recommend having the proper equipment to be safe. Helmet a mountain bike. Plenty of water. Most of the trails I would consider moderate. Plenty of easy trails on any day. You'll see multiple small kids here, even very little kids. Definitely a great destination for the whole family. There's picnic tables. Adults can go for bigger rides while kids stick around at the entrance and use the little whoopty. Whoops!.
There are hiking trails here and plenty of places one could walk and explore but compared to the biking there's much less hiking trails than there are biking trails. Nevertheless the hikes are still nice.
The lake in the middle is pretty substantial and you can put kayak paddle boat or use a trolling motor on the lake for fishing or leisure. They do have some kind of rental program on the weekends I believe have to check the website but it's there quite a bit and you can use their paddle boats kayaks etc to get on the lake for pretty reasonable price
There are many picnic areas all throughout the park with kids playground areas as well and a couple of spots.
