The Powhatan Trail is a 2.5 mile moderate difficulty, multi-use trail that is accessible from the main park road near the Old Mill Bike Trail as well as from two places in the campground area. This wide trail has three distinct extensions that form two loops, taking users through woods and campgrounds and occasional elevation changes. The smaller loop trail follows the shoreline of Swift Creek Lake with numerous opportunities to spot deer, turkey, and other wildlife in the surrounding forest. For photographers, this trail is especially attractive when the yellow poplar and red maples turn to brilliant colors.
