Caledon State Park, National Natural Landmark in King George County, Virginia.
Caledon State Park extends across 2,587 acres of forest land along the Potomac River, featuring old-growth oak and tulip poplar stands.
The land originated as Caledon Plantation in 1659 by the Alexander brothers, who later established the city of Alexandria, before becoming a state park in 1974.
The park functions as an educational center where naturalists lead programs about local wildlife, focusing on the resident bald eagle population.
Visitors can access ten hiking trails and four multi-use paths from 8 am until sunset, with the park office operating between 9 am and 4 pm.
The park maintains six primitive waterfront campsites that require hiking, biking, or paddling to reach, with no vehicle access permitted.
