Out and About
Not too long ago, this little town was the perfect place to get away from it all. When my parents moved here back in the summer of 1969, there was one stoplight, single lane roads, and farmland for miles. My father specifically picked Dahlgren, VA for his employment because of it’s rural nature.
Turns out a lot of people feel the same way…..
We all know why we are drawn to KG. We all know the vibrancy and placement of this town is a magnetic pull to settle down and build memories. One of my favorite parts is that I can get anywhere in 15 minutes.
As Spring edges in this early March, I have a few spots that remind me of the beauty of KG every time and a new spot that inspires me to keep digging for the most picturesque areas of our hometown.
Here are my current favorites:
- The old brick corner (The ruins of Office Hall) on Kings Highway past Tractor Supply.
- Wilmont Landing off of Kings Highway. What a beautiful surprise to come upon while driving!
- The Marina at the end of Potomac Drive.
- The Wayside Beach and Park near the Nice Bridge. Perfect spot for picnics.
- The kids creek jumping spot at Barnesfield Park. All kids seem drawn to this little spot while their siblings are practicing ball.
What say you? What are the most picturesque spots in KG? Which areas remind you of why you love living here? Which little scenic overlooks inspire you the most?
