Abrams Creek Wetlands Preserve

Abrams Ck Wetlands Big MapAbrams Ck Wetlands Locn MapAbramsCrPreserve B-W map 
This natural area offers a pleasant mile-long stroll or bicycle ride.

The Winchester Green Circle path crosses wetlands here that are home to over 100 bird species and more than 15 plants on Virginia’s Rare Plants List. Watch for green herons, great blue herons, kingfishers, red-winged blackbirds, muskrats, mink, painted turtles and other marsh residents.

Open all year.

Directions: From Route 11 a mile south of downtown Winchester, turn right (west) onto Jubal Early Drive. In 0.2 miles, park at the Abrams Crossing commercial center on the left. Follow the paved path beside the swamp.

Interpretive signs begin where the path swings left into the marshes.
