Westmoreland State Park, Public recreation area in Westmoreland County, Virginia, US.
Westmoreland State Park is a recreation area along the Potomac River shoreline in Westmoreland County, featuring tall cliffs that rise above the water. The park extends for about one and a half miles and offers various outdoor activities for visitors.
The park was developed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, with workers hand-digging roads and building cabins from local timber. This early construction shaped the park as visitors see it today.
The park forms part of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, linking visitors to the story of early American exploration. People walking these paths can follow the routes that once shaped this region.
The park offers hiking and camping options with various facilities including rental cabins and designated camping sites. A boat launch provides access to the river for water activities and exploration.
