“It’s never too late to begin a family tradition in a state park,” said Virginia State Parks Director Craig Seaver. “With park information on our website, we try to make it as easy as possible to plan a visit. And when you arrive, our dedicated rangers are here to make your trip enjoyable and memorable. There are so many ways to enjoy the outdoors in a state park and there’s no better time than spring break.”
