Easy hike on a very hot Saturday. Chippokes Plantation State Park
The trip report
Written by a former member · last updated by Jan on Jun 18, 2018
I met with Eric and three other friends for an easy hike around the cornfields and grounds of Chippokes Plantation State Park. As it was a very hot day (86 degrees Fahrenheit) an easy hike was welcomed. Make sure you have exact change at the entrance in order to pay the $5 entrance fee for your parking pass. There are a few museums, the plantation mansion, a visitors center, and a gift shop.

About this event
Join us at 10 a.m. for a nice visit of Chippokes Plantation Mansion, the Farm and Forestry Museum and then a nice hike along the James River Trail and the Equestrian Trail. Total trip will be about 5-6 miles, and 3 to 3.5 hours. Since this will be a hike partially in the open sun in a few areas, it is recommended you bring 1 to 2 liters of water and a hat. (This my third attempt at this hike so I am looking forward to it!)
Afterwards, we’ll hit a local spot for a late lunch. This state park has an entrance fee of $5
