Good for kids
Wheelchair-accessible entrance
My go-to walking spot so far. Full of history. You walk past the Shelton house and can walk around fields behind it if you don't want to make the whole trek down to the bridge. Would recommend for people that love history and nature.. 100%

Took a nice walk through the park today. Lots of history at this one little area. This is where Patrick Henry hails from. He was born here on Studley Plantation and you can learn some interesting facts about our national history. Quite not spring yet so everything is still just a little drab although the Tulips are starting to bloom. I would imagine in the spring or early summer this area really comes alive. I walked about half the trail and Came Upon a small Grove that had a few headstones. They had plenty of maps out front to lead you through the park and each Historical Area was marked with a number. I can imagine bringing a little picnic and sitting out in one of the fields. It was a young mother here that had her daughter and they were walking around is very nice and peaceful a good family place. They did have a port-a-john just in case you had to go.
Beautiful area & easy walking trails. Dog friendly too
Great place to go for a walk down the trails, we take our dog for walks here, path will take you down over the bridge over the Totopotomoy creek and runs all the way towards the Food Lion on Bell Creek rd. This place was the site of a civil war battle and Patrick Henry was married in the house.
Definitely stop here if you're passing through checking out other tourist spots in the area. Try to come while the house is open, Saturdays and Sundays, 1 to 4 p.m., it's worth it. The volunteer on site was incredibly knowledgeable and spent a long giving my wife and me a tour of the house and the surrounding grounds. The house is currently (Aug. 2019) under heavy renovation. The ultimate goal is to restore the house to how it looked in 1864 when it was briefly occupied by Union command during the Overland Campaign.
