Turn over a new leaf and take a leap into 2024 at Holliday Lake State Park! Join us for a ranger-led hike as we take a leisurely stroll along the Northridge Trail. This short 0.4 mile trail takes hikers on a hilly journey through old growth forest and ultimately to the beautiful Northridge Overlook, where it intersects with Lakeshore Trail. From the overlook, you will have full view of the north end of the lake, including Holliday Creek. This trail is rated moderate because of a few steep areas.

Please meet at the day use restroom area, dress for the weather, wear comfortable shoes, and don't forget a reusable water bottle. Parking fees are waived for the day at all Virginia State Parks.
