Caledon State Park, National Natural Landmark in King George County, Virginia.
Caledon State Park is a large forest area along the Potomac River containing old-growth oak and tulip poplar trees that have stood for centuries. The land is primarily covered by dense forest that extends throughout much of the park's expanse.
The land was originally a plantation established in the late 1600s and was connected to the founding of a major city nearby. It became a state park in the mid-1970s to protect the forest and river areas.
The park serves as a place where visitors can observe local wildlife in its natural setting, especially bald eagles that are regularly seen here. The focus on these birds reflects how the area has become important to people interested in nature and conservation.
The park has several walking trails of various lengths that can be explored on foot, along with options for cyclists and paddlers. The best time to visit is from sunrise to sunset when all areas are accessible.
The park offers six primitive campsites directly on the water that are reachable only by hiking, biking, or paddling. These remote locations allow visitors to experience the land in a traditional and quiet way.
