The people have spoken and we're glad they did

This week Caledon State Park and Lake Anna State Park were chosen as finalists for the Best Hiking Trails and Lake Anna State Park and Westmoreland State Park were both chosen as finalists for Best Public Park in a recent Readers' Choice survey done by the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star.

With the diversity of trails and park amenities it is understandable why all three parks, that are just a short distance from Fredericksburg are on the list for the Readers' Choice Awards. 

Lake Anna State Park offers 15+ miles of trails that range from easy to difficult, Caledon State Park has old growth hardwood forests and Westmoreland State Park gives you incredible access to the Potomac River, views from atop the bluffs, a fossil beach and all make for superior scenic adventures for the whole family.

All three Virginia State Parks have multi-use trails for hikers and cyclists. Lake Anna State Park even offers equestrian trails with very convenient horse trailer parking.

If you would like to plan an overnight trip to the great outdoors may we recommend Lake Anna State Park and Westmoreland State Park for great camping and cabin stays. Or if you are feeling a little more adventurous, Caledon State Park has an exciting fairly new paddle-in primitive campground.
