Beaverdam Ranger Station

So beautiful and peaceful here. I am visiting with my family from Philadelphia and I can’t wait to come back out to this gorgeous place. It also has awesome fresh water fishing and you can rent a boat for $ 30 a day and a fishing license for $ 8.

Nice park. Short and sweat.
We rented canoes for an hour for cheap and rowed around for awhile. Nice lake. Clean and beautiful. Everyone should visit this place.
Note: They only take cash and check. No credit card.

This review is for the trail system (though it looked like the others that were there were boating and/​or fishing).
I am very happy to have discovered this running spot. Owned and maintained by Gloucester County Parks & Rec, it’s a great place to lose the watch and enjoy the reflection and solitude of nature. The multi-​use trail, which features challenging hills and sharp turns, is easily navigable and well-​marked. There are markers every half mile and in total the trail runs 9.5 miles– from the ranger station off of Roaring Springs Rd. to Fary’s Mill Rd. The signage is really helpful to distinguish between the nature trail that parallels the multi-​use trail in several spots.
I’ve now been two weeks in a row. The first time was with a friend from Gloucester who knew the trail well. This last time I came on my own, just wanting to get in an easy 10 miles without thinking about pace. I haven’t seen others on the trail on either of my runs (though I hear there is some foot traffic on the weekends in the warmer months). Another plus is that while a lot of other trails in the area (such as Newport News Park and First Landing) are nearly un-​runnable after decent rains, the trail here is packed down enough to hold up quite well.
Also, clean restrooms at the ranger station. Always a plus.

Not bad. Nice long 9 mile out and back mtb trail. Look out for the horses and their droppings though.
