New Quarter Park

Beautiful park — great for trail running! Easy to get 3-6 miles in. Virginia bluebird society bird boxes, historical markers about park, some grouse (?) habitat restoration with a small prairie — issue with lots of Autumn Olive invasives, though, which should get cut and sprayed if possible. Very cool disc golf course that seems to host local tournaments. Lots of BBQ pavilions, a very large campfire put, plenty of lovely benches to sit and think on. Some of the markers are dirty and/pr overgrown, but prob an easy fix. Trails maintained by the Tidewater Appalachian Trail Club, which is awesome. Altogether a delightful park! All together, lovely park!

An interesting park. My GPS took me to what I guess was the back entrance, and the gates were closed, so I could not get in that way. I hiked from there about 8/10 of a mile down to the Rangers station and playground. Then I went on down to the floating dock canoe launch. They have some nice trails. They also have disc golf, and bicycle trails that looked extremely challenging to me. There's a softball park, basketball, backboards, and tennis courts. That's all that I saw but that doesn't mean that's all that there is. The canoe launch area, though, seemed a little odd to me. If you drive down there with a canoe, I don't know how you turn your car around to get back up that hill. There are photos. They're also seem to be a lot of planned activities.

Great trails. Found a few geocaches. No copperhead sightings despite the warning signs.
