Klaus' Korner & Yorktown Battlefields
Visitors Center, Beach & Yorktown
Area around the CNHP visitor's center and beach picnic area
Another nice loop of a walk begins at Redoubts 9 & 10, follows a path towards the visitor's center, takes a detour down to a small beach area next to the picnic grounds, through the picnic grounds. Then either up the "Tobacco Road" footpath to the visitor's center or past the pier on Water Street, and up the big ravine to Main Street, past the historic Nelson and Digges houses, past the Victory Monument, over the foot bridge to the visitor's center and back.

Deer are frequently encountered along the footpath
from Redoubt 10 to the Visitor's Center.

As well as the path along the boundary fence down
to the little beach are east of the picnic grounds.

Here is the view from the edge of the picnic area, showing the Victory Monument, Yorktown pier, Coleman Bridge and VIMS.

Gorgeous sunsets and moon rises can also be viewed
from the picnic area.

Further west the American Eagle can be found docked at the Yorktown pier from time to time. |
