Summer isn't over yet and there is still plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors at a Virginia State Park. Cooler temperatures mean more outdoor activities for all so check out these seven activities you won't want to miss this September.

Explore five Virginia State Parks along the Potomac River: Westmoreland, Caledon, Widewater, Leesylvania, and Mason Neck. Enjoy camping, hiking, birdwatching and paddling in these scenic and historic locations.

Caledon State Park is the perfect place to enjoy some peace and quiet just outside of Northern Virginia. The trails are ideal for hiking, biking and birdwatching and the scenic overlook of the Potomac is something you will want to experience.

Being a Virginia State Park interpreter ranger is so much more than just guiding programs and interacting with the public, but it is a big part of the job. If you are passionate about conservation and enjoy working outside, consider this job.

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

If you're looking for trails not too far from home in Northern Virginia or D.C. for a day hike, then we have a handful of parks you may enjoy.
