As of May 2023, Virginia State Parks has a new program called Wandering Waters (Paddle Quest)! Hear from the creator of this program, Visitor Experience Specialist Sammy Zambon, to learn more.

New River Trail State Park’s 57-mile length makes it worthy of three separate blog posts. First up, the southern section that runs from Galax to the midpoint of Foster Falls.

There are five Virginia State Parks located in Farmville and each one offers a unique look at the area while providing a variety of recreational activities that can be experienced in a fun 5-day trip.

Two parks just a short drive from the Williamsburg area, offering hours of family fun, outside.

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

A great spot along The Lakeshore Trail for fishing and so much more at Holliday Lake State Park.

If you like to fish, bike, bird watch or beach comb then read on to see two more parks to explore on Virginia's beautiful waterways.

Swimming, fishing, hiking, boating and lakeside picnicking, camping and cabin stays make this park in the heart of Virginia special.
