Be Inspired to Change Your World at the Potomac River Retreat at Westmoreland State Park Virginia
 
Stroll along the river bank at the Potomac River Retreat, the premier lodge at Westmoreland State Park. Feel the sand beneath your feet, hear the whispers of wind through the cliff side trees, and imagine General Washington and Thomas Jefferson meeting with their compatriots laying out their plans for the birth of our nation.   
 
The inspiration here is palpable with osprey and majestic bald eagles soaring through the tree tops, boats plying the currents, and the proximity of the bustling cities of Washington D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland just across the river.

Grab your camera, and enjoy the photographers’ paradise. Come a little closer…the solitude calls you to, “walk along my path.” Hear the osprey’s cry over the Potomac. 
 
Relax along the shore – enjoy your own bonfire, build sand castles, let the kids enjoy the shore and swimming pool. Play music, eat s’mores, and discover treasures along the shores of the Potomac Retreat. 
Start a tradition - it’s your place to grow memories
