Bush Mill Stream Natural Area Preserve, Protected wetland area in Northumberland County, Virginia, United States
The 144-acre preserve contains fresh and brackish tidal wetlands at the meeting point of Bush Mill Stream and Great Wicomico River.
The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation established this natural area preserve to protect critical habitats and water resources in the Northern Neck region.
The preserve functions as an educational site where visitors learn about tidal marsh ecosystems through interpretive trails and observation platforms.
Visitors can access the preserve daily from sunrise to sunset by following VA 642, where a sign marks the entrance near the intersection with VA 610.
The site harbors Virginia's largest population of rare bog fern species, Coryphopteris simulata, within its protected swamp environments.
