Browne State Forest, Protected forest area in Essex County, Virginia, US.
The 129-acre state forest features loblolly pine forest and wetlands connected to Dragon Run Swamp, creating a diverse ecological system.
The forest land transferred from the Browne family through a court auction in 1956 before becoming a state forest in 2005 under Virginia management.
The forest demonstrates scientific management practices while supporting applied research, wildlife habitat development, and watershed protection in Virginia's coastal plain.
Visitors can access the forest daily from dawn to dusk, with parking space for one vehicle near the entrance gate.
A fire tower relocated from King George County in the early 1960s stands along Route 604 within the forest boundaries.
