With 892acres, 7 miles of shoreline on the Northern Neck’s Rappahannock River, and access to Mulberry and Deep creeks, Belle Isle lets visitors explore a wide variety of tidal wetlands interspersed with agricultural fields and upland forests.

Belle Isle has three picnic shelters, hiking, biking and bridle trails, motorboat and car-top launches. Overnight lodging at the Bel Air Mansion and the Bel Air Guest House. The park also offers bicycle, canoe, kayak and paddleboard rentals, a universal access playground, boardwalk and fishing pier and educational programs. 

The Bel Air historic area is ideal for weddings. From Warsaw, take Route 3 to Route 354 and then Route 683 near Litwalton to the park entrance.

The diverse habitats found in the park provide homes to many predator birds, such as blue herons, osprey, hawks and bald eagles. White-tailed deer, turkeys, groundhogs, rabbits, squirrels, moles, reptiles and amphibians are also common. There are eight distinct types of wetlands within the park. These diverse ecosystems make Belle Isle an excellent outdoor laboratory for environmental education.

From Kilmarnock, take Route 3, turn left on Route 201, right on Route 354 and left at Route 653 to the park entrance.
