Get Outside: Visit a VA State Park

May is an ideal month to visit a state (or any) park and take in the great outdoors – go for a long walk, hike or bicycle ride, or just enjoy being in nature. We’re fortunate to have plenty of opportunities nearby or a short drive away. 

Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
