On April 26, 1607, 100 English settlers landed here and established the first elective government in English America before pushing up the James River to establish Jamestown. The park offers a chance to explore a unique habitat featuring lagoons, large cypress trees and rare plants. More than 19 miles of hiking trails wind through the natural area, and guided kayak ecological tours allow exploration of the marshes and bays. Climate-controlled cabins, campsites, picnic areas, boat ramps, and bicycle trails are also available. Its Chesapeake Bay Center has aquariums and a wet lab operated by the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center, educational displays, historic exhibits, a camp store, and an amphitheater. The park hosts a Smokey Bear Day in May and the Fall Harvest Festival in October. It's located off U.S. 60 at Cape Henry. |
