Virgin Islands National Park is a United StatesNational Park covering approximately 60% of the island of Saint John in the United States Virgin Islands. The park is famous for scuba diving and snorkeling and has miles of hiking trails through tropical forests.
Centerline Road overlook looking northward.
Ferries from Red Hook and Charlotte Amalie on Saint Thomas make regular stops at Cruz Bay, Saint John, near the park, which averages 725,000 visitors per year.
One of the Virgin Islands National Park's most famous attractions is Trunk Bay which sports a white sand beach and underwater snorkeling trail.
Plan accordingly and you'll be able to traverse the likes of the sugar-plantation-ruins-littered Cinnamon Bay Nature Trail and the Bourdeaux Mountain Trail that leads to the highest point on the island at 1,277 feet above sea level and whose view is best described as "what you must see from heaven." The most popular hike however is the Reef Bay Trail. This route paves the way to witnessing the beauty of the surrounding forestlands, remnants of sugar mills, historical petroglyph rock carvings, a spring-fed waterfall and reflection pool, and a chance for rest and relaxation or snorkeling excitement at Genti Bay.
Visitors can stay on Saint John nearby but off park land, or they may elect to stay in one of park's two campgrounds, Maho Bay and Cinnamon Bay, which offer varying levels of comfort.
Virgin Islands National Park also includes Hassel Island, just off Charlotte Amalie harbor, as well as a few isolated sites on the island of St. Thomas.
