    Oak Grove Lake Park in Chesapeake, VA is absolutely gorgeous in a sunny day in the spring season. There's a trail for walkers to enjoy the lake view. On the side are wooden platforms for fishing. Highly recommend this park if you're in the area l.

    Flat, wide, solid-surface trail surrounded by trees and sometimes Great Dismal Swamp Canal waters. Nice colors for Fall. No hills. Shady. Picnic places along the way. Watch intercoastal waterway traffic from the trail and overlooks.

    My daughter and I visited Hickory Ridge Farm on a beautiful sunny day for the strawberry event for families. Lots of strawberries, vendors, food items and fun for kids!

    Beautiful and relaxing. It is a nice escape away from the chaotic world today. Our dogs love the trails. Just bring your bug spray!

    There is nice land use with playground, fishing pier, porta johns, picnic area, kayak launch, water fountains, raised platforms to watch the pleasure craft and yachts await lock entrance. The trails are short but interesting water views and a bridge to an island. Playground looks safe with wood chips on surface. Historic cemetery on the premises but not in great shape.

    This is always a fun & relaxing activity with children or friends. It is a bit pricey and you do need to plan a time to come back to pick up your creations. My daughter wishes they offered a full-day (~9am-3pm) summer camp.

    A nice little park with a very mild walking trail. Easy for leisurely walks for all ages and dogs. We have come here multiple times and the walks are always so peaceful.

    Need to fill in the empty store spots. Nice mall to walk. It has 2 floors of stores. Good Chinese take out in the food court.

    Wayne that runs the place is super friendly and is always willing to find whatever it is you are looking for. I love their selection and the extra events they have in the fall are outstanding.

    I took my teenager camping here over a fall weekend. The park is about 40 minutes from First Landing State Park, about 30 minutes from the VA Beach boardwalk, and a little over an hour from Duck, NC. Since we wanted a beach weekend but didn’t plan ahead in time with the reservation, it worked well for us.

    The campground is clean, well-maintained and family friendly. The spots are close together and both RVs and tents are allowed. There is no alcohol allowed in the park, so most of the noise from other groups was done by 10, but we did hear some sounds from others in the middle of the night and by 7:30 in the morning the kids and dogs at various sites were audible. We could also hear trucks on the road outside the park from time to time, so if you are looking for a quiet and private spot, this isn’t for you. However, for $26/night and being near so many destinations, it’s a good base.

    The trails at the park are mostly well maintained and marked. The terrain is a mix of hard pack sand, pine needles, and gravel, with little elevation change, so it’s an easy place to enjoy a walk in nature. I didn’t see any otters at Otter Point, but did enjoy lovely scenery and more quiet than at the campground.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. They were good about wearing masks and there is plenty of signage to remind people about social distancing and other safety measures.

    Great place to pick strawberries and peaches!! We have come back multiple years now and constantly get a big haul. The staff are super friendly. The petting zoo is a lot of fun for kids and there is a play ground as well!

    Nice local brewery. Good selection of beers for a very reasonable price. The bartenders were quick and friendly. Vicki Vail's burgers food truck was there for food.
