When

Sept. 23, 2023. 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

To celebrate National Public Lands Day, we're hosting a park-wide scavenger hunt!

Explore the park in an adventurous new way! Stop by the visitor center early in the day to pick up your scavenger hunt list. You'll have till 3:00pm to complete everything on the list. Hike the Bluebell trail, take a selfie at Cullers Overlook, take a picture of something red, identify an invasive species, and pick up 5 pieces of trash - these are just a few of the things you'll find on your list. Whichever individual or team that can complete all the tasks in the shortest amount of time will be crowned the winner!

You will need proper footwear, water, a snack, and a camera (a smart phone will work just fine). Prepare to be at the park for a few hours as this challenge will take some time.

We hope this challenge encourages you to get outdoors with Virginia State Parks and experience the joys and satisfaction of adventuring and volunteerism.
