Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the park features 1,500 acres of rolling grasslands, quiet forests and beautiful vistas, as well as three miles of shoreline along the James River. Visitors can hike, bike, canoe, kayak, fish or camp along the banks of the historic James River or scenic Branch Pond. Facilities include a nature center, gift shop, picnic shelters, multi-use trails, boat launches, campgrounds, equestrian camping, 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. The park is also a great place to watch bateaux float by during the annual James River Bateau Festival.
