In addition to being able to hike up and down the 40 or so miles of beaches at Assateague Island National Seashore, there are a few designated hiking trails. In the Maryland section of the park, three short trails take hikers through the different types of terrain: forest, dunes, and marsh. In Virginia, all of the trails are within Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and while not technically part of Assateague Island National Seashore, nobody visiting the area would make a distinction between the two areas. Therefore, National Park Planner has reviewed these trails as well. See the following web pages for trail reviews and photographs.
