Description

This popular park is a favorite playground for locals and visitors alike. It was designed and built in 1930 as a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and has now become one of the state's most visited parks. Spread over 2,888 acres, the park offers a wide variety of activities to suit any taste, from hiking to swimming to bicycling. Walkers and joggers will love visiting First Landing, as it contains over 19 miles of trails that wind through the area's stunning landscape of forest, dunes, and water. Be sure to visit the on-site Chesapeake Bay Center, where you'll get a chance to learn about the area's marine ecosystems and the history of First Landing. The park also has plenty of campsites to accommodate those who want to spend a few days exploring the beautiful area, as well as 20 two-bedroom cabins available for rent.
