VIRGINIA STATE PARKS

Nature and History Programs

Virginia State Parks are great places to learn more about the natural and cultural history of the Old Dominion. Each year thousands of informative and entertaining family oriented programs are offered to park guests by trained park staff and volunteers eager to share their knowledge about these special places. Programs normally run an hour or two and range from guided nature walks and canoe trips to fossil hunts and historic craft demonstrations. Most are offered between Memorial Day and Labor Day and are free with park admission.
