Two of the newest residents of Maymont’s Virginia Wildlife Trail.

Maymont’s Virginia Wildlife Trail Reopened

05.2026

Recently reopened, Maymont’s Virginia Wildlife Trail is home to over a dozen species of native animals (historic and present), most of whom are wildlife rescues. Along the mile-long trail, interpretive signs explain each species’ role in our ecosystem, showing the rich diversity of wildlife in our region. The trail is now open after two years of enhancements, including new habitats for our new coyotes and porcupines. 

You may view the wildlife along the trail daily during Maymont's current hours. Come early to increase your chances of seeing our wildlife when they are most active. The trail is within a 40-acre valley located between the historic estate, the Maymont Farm, and The Robins Nature Center.
