After all, if you're a Virginia resident, you live within an hour's drive of one of Virginia's 36 award-winning state parks. 

Here are some great reasons to start planning a family destination to Twin Lakes State Park: 
 

Kids and adults of all ages love it. Enter a world where all your cares can take the backburner for a while. Take a deep breath of fresh air, explore a trail and enjoy nature’s attractions. 

You’ll experience nature in all its wonderment in our magical Animal Kingdom. Some of the animals of the park you may encounter at Twin Lakes are white-tailed deer, opossum, striped skunk, red fox, raccoon, river otter, beaver, gray squirrel, black bear, garter snake, box turtle, yellow bellied slider turtle (the ones on the logs out in the lake sunning themselves), bullfrog, bluebird, cardinal, barred owl, great blue heron, Canadian geese.

 
 Experience the beauty of nature

Imagination is encouraged at our park and there are attractions for all to enjoy.  You may even have a "Character" experience. Occasionally Virginia State Park’s mascot Ranger Parker Redfox visits. The photo opportunities are endless.
