We asked the first person to complete our Wandering Waters Paddle Quest program to tell us about her experience wandering the waters of 31 Virginia State Parks. For completing the program, Colleen Renderos received her Master Paddler certificate.

Being a Virginia State Park interpreter ranger is so much more than just guiding programs and interacting with the public, but it is a big part of the job. If you are passionate about conservation and enjoy working outside, consider this job.

Beat the heat: head toward the water for these adventures at a Virginia State Park near you.

Whether you’re a river expert or looking to try something new, Powhatan State Park is a great place for a river trip and the perfect way to cool off this summer.
