Located within a high priority conservation area, Cedar Point’s 1,737 acres of woodlands, wetlands and agricultural fields protect 4.2 miles of shoreline along Port Tobacco Creek and the Potomac River. The property’s features would make it a suitable future wildlife management area.

Captain John Smith explored Nanjemoy Creek on June 19, 1608 and noted the Indian village of Nushemouck on Cedar Point. Preservation of Cedar Point also helps to prevent development encroachment upon the U.S. Army’s Blossom Point Proving Grounds.
