A beautiful place to walk, hike, fish, or hunt.

The Powhatan Wildlife Management Area is 25 miles west of Richmond with many convenient access points reached from U.S. Route 60.

The 4462-acre Powhatan Wildlife Management Area provides a haven for outdoors enthusiasts near an expanding metropolitan area. The area's landscape of old fields, cultivated areas for habitat enhancement, wood lots and lakes provide for a diversity of wildlife species.

The area has numerous easily accessible parking areas around its perimeter and at the lakes. A number of marked trails exist to provide visitors an opportunity to chart their course and choose their distance.
