Virginia Screen-Free Week, occurring from April 13-19, 2025, encourages individuals and families to unplug from screens and explore Virginia's state parks.

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.

Spring time is your invitation to get outside, and Virginia State Parks offers some of the most diverse landscapes to hike and walk and take it all in from the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic seashore.
