Virginia Grove Recreation Area
This quiet park has a little of everything from a small pond with fishing dock, 3-miles of wooding winding trails, and a campground to a historic schoolhouse.
About Virginia Grove Recreation Area
In January 2022, Louisa County Conservation purchased a 51.43-acre track of land from Sharon Mabeus that connected the former 3-parcels of Virginia Grove, creating one continuous block of public land.
