🌊🥾 Noland Trail & Mariners’ Lake Natural Area Adventure (5–9 Miles) 🌿🦆
Join East Coast Hikers for a beautiful morning exploring two of Newport News’ best trail systems! We’ll begin with the scenic 5-mile Noland Trail around Mariners’ Lake, then continue with the 4-mile Mariners’ Lake Natural Area trail system. Hike as much as you’d like, with a total distance of 5–9 miles.
📅 Date: Sunday, August 16, 2026
🕖 Time: 7:00 AM
📍 Meeting Spot: Museum Parking Lot at The Mariners’ Museum and Park
100 Museum Drive
Newport News, VA 23606
We’ll meet next to the large monument in front of the museum, just outside the main entrance.
🥾 Distance: 5–9 Miles
⭐ Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
🐕 Dogs are welcome on a leash.
🚻 Portable toilets are available near the trailhead. The museum building opens at 9:00 AM.

We’ll start with the full 5-mile Noland Trail, enjoying beautiful lake views, wooded paths, scenic bridges, and abundant wildlife. After a short break, we’ll continue on the 4-mile Mariners’ Lake Natural Area trail for those who want to complete the full 9-mile adventure.
Starting at 7:00 AM helps us beat the summer heat while enjoying one of the most beautiful, shaded trail systems in Hampton Roads.
