If your New Year’s resolution is to spend more time outside this year, look no further than Virginia State Parks. With 43 unique parks from the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, the opportunities for outdoor adventures are endless.

While Virginia’s state parks are known for their daytime activities, they offer a new world of adventure after dark. From stargazing and firefly watching to owl prowls and moonlit kayaking tours, there's something for everyone.

There is no shortage of activities for visitors at New River Trail. The 57-mile linear park has more than 10 different access points; however, the Foster Falls area serves as a great activity hub no matter your interest.
