Description
This park is located across the slough from Dutch Gap. A trail provides access to the woodlands along James River where at least five species of woodpecker breed. Listen for the calls of pileated, red-bellied, downy, hairy, and red-headed woodpeckers and look high in the canopy for American redstarts, black-and-white warblers and red-eyed vireos.
A friendly reminder: As you are observing birds and other wildlife, please stay off the earthworks; these have cultural, historical, and archaeological value.
