Douthat State Park, Virginia

At Douthat State Park, you may be overwhelmed by the plethora of amazing activities that await you. Adorned with rushing waterfalls and some of Virginia's most majestic scenery, we have a feeling you'll be swept away by the rolling mountains and hidden coves before you can say "awesome." Start by taking advantage of the cushy swimming area, complete with a concession stand for a beachside snack that hits the spot. A 50-acre lake chock full of trout means it'll be hard to leave empty handed, and boat rentals assure you can enjoy the lake to its fullest. With more than 40 miles of multi-purpose trails perfect for the tires of your bike or the hooves of your horse, it will take more than a day or two to explore such expansive wilderness.
