Animals may be shy, but they leave plenty of clues behind. From muddy paw prints by the creek to trails in the sand, tracks can tell us who’s been exploring our park. Can you tell the difference between a coyote track and a domestic dog’s? Put your tracking skills to the test, then create your own plaster cast of an animal track to take home.

Parks are for everyone. If you have accessibility questions or concerns, please call 540-862-8114 or email Hannah.Johnson@dcr.virginia.gov.
