Check out Virginia’s Newest State Park

Sweet Run State Park opened in 2023 and is the first state park in Loudoun County. It is located in a valley between Short Hill Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the late 18th century, settlers developed a community at the intersection of Piney and Sweet Run Streams. Remnants of this community are still visible in the park such as old buildings and charcoal hearths.
