Kiptopeke State Park Cabins

This 2.9mi. loop of flat, wide, sandy trail is lightly trafficked and is suitable for any skill level. The path will also take you along half a mile of boardwalk over rolling dunes.

This 1.9mi. lightly-trafficked trail features a vast forest in its early planting stages. To the west side of the forest is the Taylor Pond, featuring two bird blinds that provide a platform for viewing the local wildlife, including cardinals and red-winged blackbirds.

The trail runs for 2.6mi. parallel to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel’s entrance. It loops through agricultural fields and a forest, offering a more secluded walk. Hikers and bikers can enjoy the view of the Chesapeake Bay along the path.

As a popular site for bird population studies, guests get to enjoy bird sighting activities as well as capturing, weighing, examining, banding, and releasing resident and migratory birds with the aid of resident rangers.

Get the family together and reel through the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The park features boat launching ramps and illuminated fishing piers for every fisherman’s needs. Running low on supplies? Don’t worry - you can get all your fishing supplies in the commercial district within the Cape Charles town.

Explore the park from a tractor-drawn wagon perspective. The one-hour ride trails through the maritime forest, coastal dunes, and further into the scenic wonders of the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
