Chippokes Plantation State Park

Chippokes Plantation State Park

Chippokes Plantation State Park is one of the oldest working farms in the United States, having been in operation since the 1600's. It is a living history museum, located rural Surry County along the James River. The park includes several historic buildings and a farm and a forestry museum with antique farming equipment.
Activities available include picnicking, camping, fishing, canoeing, and swimming. Also, the park has a beach with access at the visitor center.

The 3 to 4 miles of paved and doubletrack trails are ideal for taking the family on a short bicycle ride. The James River trail is a short ride down to the beach and beautiful views of the river. Note that the Equestrian Trail is a grass track and is accessible to hikers and mountain bikers, but is geared towards equestrian use.
