Chickahominy Wildlife Management Area

Beautiful WMA. Well cared for. A few camping spots here an there.

Found this place "by accident" a few years ago by following brown public boat landing signs along Route 5 - John Tyler highway between Williamsburg and Richmond. The first time I went and walked out on the dock there was such a BEAUTIFUL landscape of the river from left to right and it was so so soul-soothing quiet...I remember my heart whispering, "THIS is what PEACE SOUNDS LIKE " 😍

Today there was actually a small piece of a rainbow glowing to the left of the sunset. This is so significant to me personally since I lost my mother recently and ever since I have seen rainbows everywhere...even in places they just shouldn't be...and I was able to share that with my 80 year old dad who was on this trip with me today 💓

Secluded area. Trail access to river. Pier located at public boat launch. Primitive camping with permit (free). If car camping, it is a bit difficult to find an area, however, if you look closely you will find a few regularly used spots.

It's so peaceful and private. Great for real camping or fishing with the family. I love taking my dogs there.

Great place for bird watchers. Nice place for primitive camping without campsites. I saw eagle nest but no eagles. Good view of nature, and critters alike. The water isn't for swimming really. If you can't find what you looking for head to the boat ramp a trail head is near there also. Its a large area.
