“On the River of Gladstone!”
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the park features rolling grasslands, quiet forests and beautiful views, as well as three miles of shoreline along the James River. Visitors can hike, bike, canoe, kayak, fish or camp on the banks of the historic river or at Branch Pond. Facilities include cabins, a nature center, a gift shop, picnic shelters, multi-use trails, boat launches, campgrounds and equestrian camping. The park also has a universally accessible fishing pier and a quarter-mile-long wheelchair accessible trail around Green Hill Pond. James River State Park Outdoor Adventures, a full-service canoe livery, provides canoe, kayak, tube and bicycle rentals as well as shuttle services. For more information about the livery (open seasonally), call 434-933-8682. The park is also a great place to view the annual James River Batteau Festival. A replica of one of the unusual vessels is on display near Green Hill Pond.

Living room/dining room area very nice.
Bedrooms were nice as was the bathroom. Shower very good.
Deck super for smoking dope
Rain spoiled our vacation a bit but we were still able to enjoy the area very much
Appomattox is heart wrenching. That Lincoln and Grant understood what needed to be done to restore tranquility to the country once the fighting stopped. Is so poinyent to its universe down that day.men could be so magnanous in victory was truly moving. Every bit as impressive as the statute of David. Gave me a lump in my throat.
Fireplace was very nice except that logs burned too quickly. Four hour log burned quickly in two hours
Light outside on patio deck in front of house does not work.
There's no television.
There's no Wi-Fi. I think the park should be up to date. Support the Internet with wifi.
Blind on window facing SSW does not work
Kitchen cabinet under snow needs repair. Stays open
Very good time there. 4.5 value
