It is well off the beaten path and most people wouldn’t be able to find it without a map. However, at the end of Naxera in Gloucester County, there is a hidden gem known as the Captain Sinclair Recreational Area that is being permanently saved for the public to continue to use and enjoy. The Middle Peninsula Chesapeake Bay Public Access Authority, owns the site, which consists of an open space easement that includes 96.81 acres of waterfront property, with approximately 1 mile of waterfront, located on the Severn River in Gloucester County, Virginia. Much of the property is a pristine coastal ecosystem, including densely forested mixed hardwood and pine trees, tidal wetlands, and non-tidal wetlands. The land was most recently used as a horse farm and has fences, in poor repair, surrounding the fields. The roads are gravel and are substantial. The fields have several small ponds and are currently fallow and have begun to transition to an early successional forest. The property is protected by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation.
