Stop by the nature booth to borrow a Family Learning Adventures adventure pack for the day.

Otters, wildcats, and bears, oh my!

What would it be like to be able to see in the dark, strike prey like lightning, or soar through the air thousands of feet above the earth?

If you love nature and the outdoors, come check out the Friends of Powhatan State Park monthly meetings and gather with like-minded people who are passionate about supporting Virginia State Parks through volunteerism and legislation.

Gather around the campfire as sun sinks low.

Would you like to explore our trails and meet new people?

This is the time when dandelions and other brightly colored flowers cover the landscape, and while many are considered weeds, they can be used to make beautiful art! Join a ranger to make your own "dandy lion" from the dandelions and other flowers that we collect from our fields and meadows and learn about the pollinators that visit them.

How well do you know our native Virginia snakes?

What can we see, hear, smell, and possibly touch in nature? The goal of this guided hike is to stay as quiet as possible to avoid scaring away wildlife and to experience using our senses.

Join Virginia Master Naturalist and entomologist Sarah Reilly as she introduces us to some of the beautiful and fascinating tiny critters you’re likely to find in this part of Virginia during this part of the season. Far from creepy, these many-legged crawlers are bound to amaze you as you learn about some of their mind-blowing adaptations and behaviors. Sarah’s presentation will be followed by an optional bug-themed craft that kids and adults alike can take home.
