State Profile

Virginia is a beautiful state, with mountains, forests, seashores, and rivers to visit and enjoy. Great places to see include Shenandoah National Park, Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, and the Jefferson and George Washington national forests.

Virginia has outstanding outdoor recreation opportunties - great beaches in the Hampton Roads region and on Assateague Island National Seashore, boating on Chesapake Bay, sightseeing on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and hiking on terrific trails that showcase scenery and Virginia's rich history: the Captain John Smith Chesapeake, Overmountain Victory, and Star-Spangled Banner national historic trails, and the Appalachian and Potomac Heritage national scenic trails. National battlefields and military parks are quiet preserves where visitors can reflect on the Civil War and its meaning for America today.

Working together, we can conserve Virginia's outstanding natural heritage for the pleasure and benefit of future generations.
