Whether you prefer fishing in lakes, rivers, creeks, oceans or the bay, there are plenty of places to cast your line at a Virginia State Park. To enjoy more time on the water be sure to book your stay in a cabin, campground, yurt or lodge.

We asked the first person to complete our Wandering Waters Paddle Quest program to tell us about her experience wandering the waters of 31 Virginia State Parks. For completing the program, Colleen Renderos received her Master Paddler certificate.

Hiking offers challenges and opportunities to enjoy the off-season at Virginia State Parks!

We are proud to be the first location in Virginia to offer the EnChroma colorblind viewfinder. It's equipped with special lenses from EnChroma designed to help those with red-green Color Vision Deficiency (CVD) experience colors.

Stay connected to nature while maintaining social distancing.

Spring time is your invitation to get outside, and Virginia State Parks offers some of the most diverse landscapes to hike and walk and take it all in from the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic seashore.
