Fees Open all year round in 2001 Just 20 miles from downtown Richmond, the capital of Virginia, Pocahontas State Park has been one of the more popular parks in the state park system.
Swift Creek forms the nucleus of the park, which is centered in a wildlife management area.
Hiking, biking and hoseback riding are popular activities in the Park. The Park's Olympic size swimming pool is a welcome relief from the summer heat. New facilities at the park include a Civil Conservation Corps Museum, Amphitheater featuring events from the Richmond Symphony to a Civil War Day, and the Heritage Center conference facility.
