Description
This site features an informal boat landing, from which visitors can launch canoes or kayaks onto the Pamunkey River. Secondary growth bottomland forest surrounds the parking area and Judy Swamp Creek. The forest is home to breeding woodland and bottomland inhabitants, such as prothonotary warblers and wood thrushes. Butterflies, dragonflies, and damselflies can be spotted near the creek. Visitors can expect good bird diversity here during spring and fall migration.
