About Hinchee Park:
Hinchee Park is a 235-acre park, donated to Roanoke County in 2019 by Nancy Hinchee Pace and Pathfinders for Greenways. This woodland preserve includes the two-mile Hinchee Trail on a fire road built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Many of the culverts still show the rock work built by the CCC.

Hinchee Trail is a gateway to Carvins Cove Natural Reserve, connecting to the ten-mile Brushy Mountain Trail. Carvins Cove is the largest municipal park in the East, with over 12,000 acres and 60 miles of trails.

This park is supported by a grant from the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the Virginia Land Conservation Fund.
