Douthat State Park is located in the Allegheny
Mountains of western Virginia. The park has 4,546 acres in Bath and Alleghany counties and includes a 50-acre lake.
A traditional family park for 75 years, Douthat is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places for the role its design played in
the development of parks nationwide.
Amid some of Virginia's most
breathtaking mountain scenery, visitors enjoy interpretive programs, two
miles of stream fishing, a 50-acre lake stocked with trout, a sandy
swimming beach with snack bar, boat rentals, a gift shop and camp store,
cabins, and more than 43 miles of hiking, mountain biking and bridle
trails.
Plus, there are playgrounds, an amphitheater, picnic areas, tent
and trailer camping, and a restaurant overlooking the lake. The park
also has 32 cabins and three lodges that accommodate 15, 16 and 18
guests each.
