Belle Isle State Park, State park and plantation on Rappahannock River in Lancaster County, Virginia.

Belle Isle State Park spans 892 acres with seven miles of shoreline, containing tidal wetlands, farmland, and forests along the Rappahannock River.

The land was first acquired in 1692 by John Bertrand, and the Belle Isle mansion was constructed around 1760 by Raleigh Downman.

The park forms part of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, marking early European exploration of the Chesapeake Bay region.

The park provides facilities for camping, including RV lots and tent sites, along with boat launches, rental equipment, and multiple hiking trails.

Interior rooms and original wooden panels from the Belle Isle mansion are now displayed at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware.
