Powhatan State Park, State park in Powhatan County, Virginia.
The 1,565-acre natural area extends along the James River with hardwood forests, open meadows, and steep bluffs overlooking the water.
The Department of Conservation and Recreation established this public space in 2003 after acquiring land from the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice.
The park preserves the natural heritage of central Virginia through educational programs, ranger-led activities, and interpretive displays about local flora and fauna.
Visitors access the James River through three car-top boat slides, while the Riverbend Campground offers 29 sites with electric and water connections.
The park features a specialized canoe-in campground accessible only via the James River, providing six primitive sites in a remote riverfront location.
