Hiking Hughlett Point Natural Area Preserve, Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia
Miles and miles of pristine, undeveloped shore line, and nobody around but me!
Hughlett Point State Natural Area Preserve is located on Virginia's Northern Neck, in Northumberland County, near the town of Kilmarnock and on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. This is a small preserve, just a little over 200 acres, that lies on a tiny peninsula called Hughlett Neck. The highest elevations in the preserve are below 10 feet above sea level, so it's mostly flat terrain. There is some upland type forest on the property, featuring pines mixed with a few hardwoods, as well as some areas of wetland forest and tidal marshes. The area is an excellent bird watching site, and is known for Bald Eagles and Ospreys, and numerous water fowl and ocean birds. There is also a population of rare insects living on the beach here. There are two trails in the preserve, the Winter Water Trail which leads you through the upland forest section to connect you to the Bay Shore Trail. The Bay Shore Trail runs north-south through the preserve, with a spur trail to North Beach and another spur to a marsh overlook. The Bay Shore Trail ends on a beach just a half mile north of the peninsula's point. A hike along the beach offers excellent views of the marshes, Dividing Creek, and the Chesapeake Bay. As evidenced by the large number of footprints on the beach, the area appears to be frequently visited; however, I was lucky enough to have the entire preserve all to myself on my visit. Please be sure to thumbs up this video, and share it with your family and friends. Leave a comment down below, I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
