First Day Hike - A Journey Through Time Walk

Location of Twin Lakes State Park in Virginia

Where

Twin Lakes State Park, 788 Twin Lakes Rd., Green Bay, VA 23942.
The Discovery Area

When

Jan. 1, 2024. 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

This place, this land, is as old as time itself. The sticks, the stones, the lakes, the trees and their leaves all have their own story to tell, some of it millions of years in the making. During this one-mile loop walk, a ranger will guide you along a journey through time on the Goodwin Lake Trail.

Be sure to wear warm, comfortable shoes and clothes, and bring a water bottle if possible. While this trail is rated easy, it is not appropriate for strollers and those with severe mobility issues. To ensure an enjoyable time, please alert park staff to any necessary special accommodations you or your group may need. Parks are for everyone; this is an inclusive program open to all people.

This is a FREE parking day for all Virginia State Parks.
