The Ground Beneath Our Feet

When

March 19, 2016. 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

Seemingly composed of just rocks and soil, the ground also contains fascinating tales about the cultural history of central Virginia. From ancient seas and mountains to Native Americans and English pioneers, we'll take an up-close look at how the ground reveals the distant and the recent past. This hike is a one mile round trip on moderate terrain using Northridge and Lakeshore Trails, so comfortable and sturdy walking shoes are recommended.

Please contact the Park Office with any questions regarding park programs or to set up private programs for a group.
