Mud Buggin'

Location of Mason Neck State Park in Virginia

Mason Neck State Park, 7301 High Point Rd., Lorton, VA 22079.
Turtle Pond by the Kayak Launch

When

July 27, 2025. 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Not all-aquatic wildlife has fins or scales! Join a ranger as we take dip-nets down to the pond to search for dragonfly larvae and other macro-invertebrates hiding in the mud. Get an up-close look at these secretive creatures and learn how some grow up to be the winged insects we know so well! Plan to get at little wet and muddy!
