Virginia’s state park system protects a diverse range of landscapes across the Commonwealth, from the rugged peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the tidal wetlands and beaches of the Chesapeake Bay. Many parks preserve historically significant sites as well as natural scenery, including places connected to early American history and the American Civil War. Popular destinations such as First Landing State Park—where English colonists first landed before founding Jamestown—and Grayson Highlands State Park, known for its wild ponies and sweeping mountain views, showcase the variety of environments found throughout the state. With miles of hiking and biking trails, scenic waterways, historic landmarks, and family-friendly campgrounds, Virginia’s state parks offer abundant opportunities to explore the natural beauty and heritage of the region.
