I need to give you fair warning about something you should know about Virginia State Parks in the fall...she will bat her eyes and sweep you up with her seductive charms and before you even realize your infatuation you may be smitten. 

When you visit a Virginia State Park in the fall, and especially when stay overnight with her on a fall getaway in a park cabin or campground we cannot be held responsible for what may happen...and I am warning you now, that love is in the air.

Be warned, what you are about to see may provoke a rapid heartbeat and sweaty palms

End of September into earliest October she will beguile you with her leafy fireworks show at Grayson Highlands State Park

You may trip and scamper along the rapture of her creeks at

Douthat State Park

Her quiet tenderness will enchant you as she reflects back at you at

Staunton River State Park

But what does fall have to do with it?

Everything, absolutely everything, from savoring the taste from that first sip of morning coffee while reclining outside on the deck of a her park cabin, to the bird songs that rise to meet you as you crunch leaves underfoot as you go for a walk admiring her camping loop.

No more bug spray, no more sunscreen, no more hauling water bottles and trying to find a place to refill them. It is just you and her, with no distractions only a yearning to be alone among her flaming hillsides.

How can you not fall in love with Virginia State Parks? You can try to hold back, but in the end you will be struck straight through the heart as you fall head over heels...

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower 

-Albert Camus

Leaves litter the pathways outside her cabin at

Fairy Stone State Park

A scenic winding road guides you down to her majestic river at

Westmoreland State Park

The first couple weeks of November ardently adorn her like scenes from an acrylic painting at Chippokes State Park

Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees. -Faith Baldwin

Her cabins sit perched along the bluff as her trees drop their leaves and give way to stunning water views at Staunton River State Park

October ushers in cool foggy mornings with the sounds of Canadian honkers echoing across her lake at Hungry Mother State Park
