National Trails Day
Where
Bear Creek Lake State Park, 22 Bear Creek Lake Rd., Cumberland, VA 23040.
Cumberland Multi-Use Trail Parking Area
When
June 7, 2025. 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Help us stop litter at the source. The trails of the park and the adjoining Cumberland State Forest cover varied terrain and habitats that sometimes need a little stewardship love. The cleanup begins when you get a trash bag between 9:00-9:30 a.m. at the parking area. Park staff will help you decide what park trails you want to walk and steward depending on the length, difficulty or the time you have available.
Bags will be provided, but you will need to provide your own gloves.
