Chilton Woods is a 397-acre state forest in Lancaster County. Management focuses on demonstration of sustainable forest management practices, timber production, passive recreation, wildlife habitat, water quality, research, and plant and animal biodiversity. Its high timber quality results from a long history of forest management activities by the Chilton family. The land has gentle terrain and varied flora under forests of mostly loblolly pine and pine-hardwood mix. A small stream known as Balls Branch borders part of the forest, and a few of its tributaries extend into the property. The Northern Neck Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalists have adopted Chilton Woods and maintain a number of trails on the forest.

Open daily from dawn until dusk.

Parking/Access: Access via small parking area under transmission lines, along Field Trial Road

Restroom Facilities: None

Visitors are asked to adopt a “leave-no-trace” ethic when visiting the forest, as there are no restrooms or trash cans on the forest itself. ​ ​
