Hiking offers challenges and opportunities to enjoy the off-season at Virginia State Parks!

If you're looking for trails not too far from home in Northern Virginia or D.C. for a day hike, then we have a handful of parks you may enjoy.

Spring showers bring May flowers to the mountains, Piedmont, and coastal Virginia State Parks. Exploring our parks in bloom is sure to put a spring in your step.

If you want to learn to kayak this spring, there's no better place than at a Virginia State Park. And we've even got the kayaks, paddles, life-jackets and guides to help you along. This is a fun activity for all ages.
