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.

Even though Fort Norfolk requires a little extra effort to visit if you are in Chesapeake, the short drive is well worth it if you are a fan of history. This fort is the last remaining structure of an original 19 forts that were built back in 1794 on the order of President George Washington. When you arrive you will be immediately struck by the fort's outward design, and once you step through the archway that leads to the interior, you will feel like you have traveled back in time. The staff members on hand will be happy to answer any of your questions. There is also an expansive 4-acre landscape that surrounds this historical site.

A single tree offers a great place to relax and commune with nature. But at the Chesapeake Arboretum, there are so many trees that your senses will be overwhelmed–but in a good way! This 47-acre garden features a staggering number of trees and also does an admirable job of championing the importance of environmental awareness through various exhibits and attractions. The Chesapeake Arboretum originally opened its doors in 1996 and has been welcoming hundreds of visitors on a regular basis ever since.

Going out for the evening is always a great idea. And it's even better when you find a place to hang out that is as comfortable as A.J. Gator's Sports Bar and Grill. This popular nightlife venue is a kind of home away from home for several patrons, as it offers several comfortable amenities like lots of big screen televisions, a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, excellent menu items that range from appetizers to entrees, a fully-stocked bar, and pool tables, darts, and music.
