Memorial Day Weekend - Snake!

Location of Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia

Where

Hungry Mother State Park, 2854 Park Blvd., Marion, VA 24354.
Beach

When

May 24, 2025. 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Southwest Virginia is home to only two venomous snakes. Who are they and who are the other sneaky neighbors slithering around?

Stop by the interpretive ranger's table at the beach to have a chat about the snakes that reside within the park and how to identify them. Though snakes make many people uneasy, they are exciting animals to learn about and they do a huge favor for us.
