Chicamuxen Wildlife Management Area, Protected natural area near Potomac River in Maryland, United States.

During the American Civil War, the location served as an encampment site for Union forces under the command of General Joseph Hooker.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources maintains this conservation zone as part of their commitment to preserving natural environments for future generations.
