Chickahominy Wildlife Management Area is a protected area located in Charles City County, Virginia. The only Wildlife Management Area located in the coastal plain of tidewater Virginia, it received its name from the Chickahominy River, which forms its eastern boundary. Morris Creek flows through the property, forming its southern boundary; other smaller creeks and marshes can be found in the forest. Tree growths are mainly mixed hardwood and pine. The preserve is nearly level, with elevations ranging from 25 to 50 feet above sea level.
