Owl Prowl

Location of Staunton River State Park in Virginia

Where

Staunton River State Park, 1170 Staunton Trail, Scottsburg, VA 24589.
Visitor Center

When

July 22, 2023. 8:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.

Once the sun has slipped out of sight let the moon be your guide as we travel the trails looking and listening for the wildlife that can be found in our park. As we negotiate the trails, we’ll discuss the native owls and night birds of Virginia, engage them in conversation, and try to see them up close. This is a ranger-guided activity so if you are new to the outdoors and night hiking, it is a great program for you.  As long as the skies are clear, we will also be able to see beautiful stars and constellations along the way. Bring a flashlight but be prepared to turn it off when needed. Wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes.

There is no fee for this program; however, a parking fee is required to enter the park unless you are a cabin or campground guest.
