Douthat State Park, State park with a 50-acre lake in Alleghany County, United States.
The 4,545-acre Douthat State Park features 43 miles of trails through mountain terrain and offers a range of outdoor recreational activities.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park's facilities between 1933 and 1942, establishing it as one of Virginia's original six state parks in 1936.
The park preserves numerous original structures from the 1930s, earning its place on the National Register of Historic Places in September 1986.
Visitors can rent boats, fish in the stocked lake, stay in 32 cabins, or use campgrounds while enjoying mountain biking and hiking opportunities.
The park's location in the Allegheny Mountains includes a dam that received recognition as Virginia's Best Operated and Maintained Dam in 1998.
