For most birding reports at this State Park, it is appropriate to use the main State Park hot spot. Only use the restricted access hot spot if you are birding in that portion of the 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. Two parcels are open for access. The park has a visitor center, picnic shelters, playgrounds, restrooms, canoe-kayak launches, a motorboat launch and hiking trails. The park highlights the area’s natural, historic and recreational resources.
