Found in the south-eastern corner of Virginia, Chesapeake has much to recommend it. With 10 beautiful parks to explore and more than 30 miles of waterways, Chesapeake is an outdoor wonderland. The parks range in size from the 107,000 acre Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge to the three-acre Fun Forest, a park designed to educate children on the natural wonders that abound in Virginia. For those visiting in May, be sure to catch the city's largest festival, the Chesapeake Jubilee, which celebrates all things Virginian.
