About Pocahontas State Park

Swift Creek runs through land laid out by the Civilian Conservation Corps, forming the core of what is Virginia's largest state park at 7,919 acres. The park lies near the state capital of Richmond, and in 2015 it recorded over 1.1 million visitors, reflecting the scale of use the grounds accommodate.
