About this trail
This is a Virginia State Park, website here:
http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/pocahontas.shtml
This park is a nicely managed state park similar to Yorktown State Park (also a Virginia State Park).
There are trails for all levels, but none are really that hard. The scenery is typical Eastern Virginia woodland. I have never failed to see deer. Once I saw an American Bald Eagle. This is a good park to learn and to get some exercise. I have gone here with my children since they were 4. The singletrack difficulty is indicated in a fashion similar to ski slopes. The easy trail is the longest. The hardest trail is not that much harder than the easiest.

Q: thinking about traveling from NJ to VA in April for a long weekend of camping. Are these trails something that we could pull our child in one of those bike trailers on ? dont want to make the 4 hr drive with our bikes if we really cant pull her behind them. Any feedback or other parks to camp around VA would be appreciated ! -robertsiantosca
A: Depends on which trail system you ride. There are two trails that were built with hand cyclist in mind and a very smooth, although they are rather short.

I stopped in the Nature office near the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum and the park staff was friendly. He gave me pointers on which trails to ride as well as personal insight since he rides the trails too. He also advised me about new bike trails not on the map yet. I will definitely return to ride the other trails.
