Newport News Park

One of the largest municipal parks in the country, Newport News Park features a wide variety of activities including camping, fishing, and boating. In addition, there are plenty of picnic tables with views of the reservoir, a disk golf course, a nature center and a 36 hole golf course.

The 6 mile bicycle loop is a flat, wide trail that the whole family will enjoy. The park also has hiking trails that wind their way through open forests, marshlands, and Civil War breastworks that are remarkably well preserved. Several historical markers along these trails tell the story of the battles that occurred in this area. Newport News Park connects to Yorktown Colonial National Historical Park via the bicycle loop.
