Biscuit Run State Park

Biscuit Run State Park is a large recreation area in Albemarle County featuring trails, campgrounds, and facilities spread across forested and open land. The park's layout includes multiple access points designed to serve different types of visitors and outdoor activities.

The State of Virginia acquired the land in 2009, converting what was planned as a residential development into public parkland for community recreation. This purchase marked a shift toward preserving open space in the region.

The park's master plan incorporates community input through committee meetings to establish recreational spaces that reflect local interests and needs.

Early phases of development focus on park entrance, parking areas, and initial trails that are completed first. Visitors should check current conditions before arriving since not all areas are fully open yet.

The land was rescued from planned private development and is now permanently held in public ownership for future generations. The gradual build-out over years allows nature and infrastructure to develop together at a measured pace.
