About White Hill
White Hill is a summit in southeastern Virginia, about 8.4 miles from Virginia Beach. It sits in a cluster of short trails, so it works well as a stop on a longer outing rather than a destination of its own. For comfortable weather, aim for October, when typical averages from a nearby weather station at Oceana NAS run to highs around 71°F and lows near 53°F. Late spring is similar, with May highs in the mid-70s. The closest trail is White Hill Lake Trail, about 0.4 miles away, and Kingfisher Trail is about half a mile off. A little farther, Osmanthus Trail and Fox Run Trail both lie roughly 1.1 miles away, which makes it easy to link several short walks in one visit.
