Enjoy Winter in Virginia State Parks

State parks are open every day and winter is a great time to visit. The temperatures can be mild, the parks have a lot to offer, and the winter views are new and different now that most leaves have fallen. There’s always something fun to do, from camping and hiking to playgrounds and bike trails, in a Virginia State Park.
