Location of Bear Creek Lake State Park in Virginia

Where

Legacy Wayside

When

June 4, 2022. 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

The waters of Bear Creek Lake eventually find their way to the Chesapeake Bay watershed and so it is important that we do our part to keep our watershed clean. You can help by joining in on this ranger-led walk through the park and along some trails to pick up litter carelessly tossed. The walk will be over moderate terrain. Trash bags will be provided, but not gloves.
