Green Springs Nature Trail…James City County, Virginia

This trail was developed to provide a 3.5-mile soft surface venue for hikers and joggers. The naturalist might find it difficult to believe that this extensive site, with its remarkable diversity of habitat, was created for humans and not wildlife. One of the three interconnecting trail loops encircle a 34-acre beaver pond and incorporates a 1,000-foot boardwalk with an observation deck overlooking the water. Red-headed woodpeckers and ospreys share nesting rights to the snags flooded by this pond, and waterfowl use it as a resting area during migrations
