A short drive from most of the big Mid-Atlantic cities, one can truly step back in time and experience the road less traveled. Whether your visit is one day, one weekend or a whole week, you’ll find plenty to see, do and experience in this unique historical region of Virginia known as the Northern Neck.
Virginia’s Northern Neck Peninsula is the “birthplace of our nation” with three of the first five American presidents being born here, along with other prominent families that helped form our nation and its Declaration of Independence. It is a land where generations of Watermen still continue to harvest Rockfish, Blue Crabs and the ever famous Virginia Oyster and, family farms still flourish to this day.
Plentiful quiet creeks and forest landscapes still similar to those first viewed by Capt. John Smith still abound. Reconnect with the nature and history of one of the best kept secrets along the eastern seaboard. Whether hiking the breathtaking views of our award winning state parks or kayaking a tranquil river or wetland marsh, “the voice of nature is always healing” – Henry David Thoreau
