Five Forks Battlefield

Sometimes we want to hike in the woods, but don’t want to drive 2+ hours. Sometimes we don’t want to get up early. This is a series of hikes that are not too far and not too close; not too long and not too short. We call them ‘Modest Ambles’.

This is a great hike through a pine forest.  No major climbs.

Also BY POPULAR DEMAND – there is an OPTIONAL opportunity for a private CVT food tour of Petersburg hosted by RiverCity / Petersburg Food Tours. This starts at 2PM and gives us plenty of time after the hike to get ready and get there. Last year’s 7 mile hike took 3 hours

The return time is approximate. If you have plans that require you to be back in Richmond at a specific time, please communicate this prior to carpooling with someone, or consider choosing a different hike.
