Events in Virginia State Parks

Join a ranger led tour to reveal what the landscape of Cedar Creek is trying to tell you.

A nearly century-long tradition continues as the Natural Bridge is bathed in light the last Saturday night of every month (plus holiday weekends), April through October.  Experience the 200-foot-tall arch as it is lit from above and below by dozens of lights, with the only sound being the murmuring of Cedar Creek running below.

Celebrate Earth week by getting close up with frogs and toads under the Natural Bridge during the Illumination.  Late spring is the perfect time to check the creek for frogs and toads, and as evening falls they are more common on the trail.
