Hilton Pier/Ravine, Recreational pier and ravine in Hilton Village, Newport News, US
Hilton Pier is a public pier extending into the James River in Newport News, measuring approximately 410 feet long. The structure provides visitors with fishing access and river views from its wooden deck.
The pier was built in 1918 as part of the Hilton Village development. It was reconstructed in 2005 after being damaged by a hurricane in 2003.
The pier serves as a meeting spot where local residents come to fish and gather during seasonal celebrations. You will see people here throughout the year enjoying time by the water and connecting with their community.
The pier is wheelchair accessible and has designated parking nearby. You can visit year-round, but it is helpful to check current conditions before your visit.
A 40-foot relocation from its initial position occurred during the 2005 reconstruction, resulting from legislative discussions about optimal placement.
