Urban Astronomy at Widewater State Park

On a peninsula where Aquia Creek and the Potomac River meet, Widewater provides access to both bodies of water. The park lies on non-contiguous parcels interspersed by private property. Three parcels are open for access. The park has a visitor center, picnic shelters, playgrounds, restrooms, canoe-kayak launches, a motorboat launch, hiking trails and paddle-in camping. The park highlights the area’s natural, historic and recreational resources.
