Summary: Wheel chair accessible - this is a short, paved trail through the woods adjacent to wetlands. Several interpretive signs on the flora and fauna of the area are posted along the way. A GREAT trail for young children to explore! Trailhead: From I-95 take the Fort Belvoit / Newington exit to the southern leg of the Fairfax County Parkway (Route 7100). Follow the parkway east approximately 3 miles until its end at Richmond Highway (Rt 1). Turn left onto Rt 1. Follow Rt 1 norht to the first light and make a right into Tulley Gate. This is Pohick Road. Follow to the refuge main entrance ahead on the right.

Reviewed by MEL on 8/17/2006 The short paved trail is ok and there is a good site to view turtles sunning themselves on logs at one observation area. However, the best aspect is the dirt trails that branch off of the paved trail. One could easily run for an hour and never run on the same trail twice, except for the return trip. Ive seen quite a bit of wildlife near these trails as well. Mostly I use it for exercise rather than for sightseeing though. 
Reviewed by AndrewF on 11/3/2003 Nice, level, paved trail. Wheelchair accesable with benches placed along the trail for lingering. Also, one picnic table near trailhead. Interpretive signs for trail features and native species. 20 minute hike at an easy walking pace. There is a large area trails map at the trailheard. Several trails branch off from this trail to form larger loops so a good place to start if longer trails are desired. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
