Biscuit Run State Park is a planned state park located in Albemarle County, Virginia. The park property was originally planned for a large residential development. In January 2010, as real estate values reeled from the burst housing bubble and ensuing recession, the state negotiated the purchase of the property from developer Forest Lodge, LLC for $21.48 million in cash and tax credits.
