Virtual Tour: Green Hill Pond Loop Trail

The Green Hill Pond Loop Trail is a .37 mile, easy, paved, handicap accessible hiking trail that wraps around Green Hill Pond. It is located near picnic shelter 5 and may also be accessed from the Dixon Trail (not handicap accessible). The pond has a beautiful boardwalk over the water to fish from and several benches to rest and enjoy the scenery. A wetland impoundment below Green Hill Pond is a restoration project to restore vital wetland habitat for the James River Watershed. Many areas along the James River were previously timbered and drained to create pastures for cattle. Restoring this wetland provides erosion protection and valuable habitat for wildlife.
