Springtime is hiking time. Enjoy a hike at your favorite Virginia State Park. 

The exciting news is that more than 160 miles of the park system's 626 miles of trails are reserved for hiking, and hiking is allowed on more than 397 miles of multi-use trails. 

This gives new meaning to the sayings:

DON'T LET THE GRASS GROW UNDER YOUR FEET

A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS

If fresh air and exercise aren't enough, you can earn rewards by taking part in the Virginia State Parks' Trail Quest program. Earn attractive hiking stick pins for visiting the parks you love, bring a friend, the family or the four-legged hiking pal along. It's a win win.

In addition to hiking, Virginia State Park trails accommodate other activities like biking, mountain biking and horseback riding, and many of these parks have universally accessible trails.

If you would like to learn about a particular park's trails in advance of your visit, you can by visiting the park page itself on our website, and then clicking on the "Recreation" and/or "Park Trail Guide" menu item at the leftside of the page.
