Bassett Trace Nature Trail Walk
Take a leisurely stroll on the Bassett Trace Nature Trail and learn about Virginia's wildlife and native habitats. On this guided tour, Colonial Williamsburg Master Naturalist volunteers discuss flora and fauna seen along the trail and the importance of conservation. The walk, which begins at the trail's head by the Griffin Hotel parking lot, is about a half-mile round trip. Afterward, hikers may walk the 1.4-mile trail, which ends at the Green Course Clubhouse. Another great way to get outdoors for some lovely Williamsburg fall foliage on Saturday morning.
