Oak Grove Lake Park is one of those places in Chesapeake where it all seems to come together for the outdoor lover. In addition to a stunning 65-acre hardwood forest, trails and wetlands, there is also a lake that proves to be a popular attraction with fans of water sports and recreation. Enjoy a refreshing swim, lounge on the shore or take your boat out for a relaxing afternoon of fishing.

History and astronomy come together in a dazzling way at the Chesapeake Planetarium. From an historic standpoint, the facility is significant because it is the first planetarium built by a public school system in the state of Virginia. But this attraction also offers visitors a chance to gaze into the night sky and be amazed at the intricate patterns and formations that make up the constellations everyone has heard about. The staff is highly knowledgeable and can answer any questions you may have. Also, there are various lectures and special presentations on the schedule. And of course, the opportunity to see the stars up close is always available thanks to the high powered telescopes and other impressive equipment that is available here.

It's always an engaging experience to get close to nature, but it's even more exciting when you see it from the unique perspective of a kayak. Chesapeake's Kayak Nature Tours guides you on an unforgettable trip through Kayak First Landing, the area's most popular State Park surf launch that leads into the Atlantic ocean. Kayak Nature Tours offers several different tour packages all designed to make it a highly memorable, one-of-a-kind experience.
