Belle Isle has seven miles of shoreline on the Northern Neck's Rappahannock River and provides access to Mulberry and Deep creeks. The park lets visitors explore a wide variety of tidal wetlands interspersed with farmland and upland forests.

 

The diverse habitats found in the park provide homes to many predator birds, such as blue herons, osprey, hawks and bald eagles. White-tailed deer, turkeys, groundhogs, rabbits, squirrels, moles, reptiles and amphibians are also common. There are eight distinct types of wetlands within the park.

The Great Channels of Virginia is a natural preserve area filled with massive boulders that create long and winding rock mazes. The sandstone boulders are reported to be 400 million years old; they are located at the top of Clinch Mountain near Brumley Gap in the southwestern corner of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. The maze of boulders will blow your mind and make you think you've been transported to another world. Even though the trail to the top is a challenging 2.5 mile route, it is worth the effort to make the trek and explore this otherworldly place!
