Staunton River State Park is home for many different types of wild animals. Hike around the park and see if you can spot some of these homes. Remember to think outside the box on this one. Some animals live in trees, some live in the ground, and some live in the water. How many animal homes can you find? If you spot one just shout it out so that everyone can see your discovery.

There is no fee for this program, but the standard parking fee is required unless you are staying in a cabin or in the campground.
