With the magic of fall right at our doorstep, we feel so lucky to live in a state like Virginia where the foliage is always magnificent. This time of year, we love featuring our gorgeous state parks which offer some of the most spectacular perspectives of this natural phenomenon. One prime example is Leesylvania State Park. Situated on the shores of the Potomac River, this area offers wooded trails and shoreline excursions to bring you the best of the season.
Let’s take a peek at what’s in store:
