It’s time to get creative!

Join the Friends of Shenandoah River State Park for a fun and hands-on crafting experience. They’ll provide everything you need—beads, twine, leather, paint, and more—to transform a hiking stick into a one-of-a-kind piece of art. All you need to bring is the stick of your choice, found during your adventures in the park.

Stop by the River Bend Discovery Center any time between 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. to make your masterpiece.

A donation to the Friends group is encouraged to participate in the decorating activity. Contributions will be accepted at the event. To learn more about the Friends of Shenandoah River State Park, please visit their website here.

Acerca de las caminatas del primer día

Cada año, el 1de enero, los Parques Estatales de Virginia celebran caminatas del primer día. Esta iniciativa nacional invita a las personas a recibir el año nuevo conectándose con la naturaleza y creando recuerdos duraderos en un parque estatal. Se ofrecen caminatas de primer día dirigidas por guardabosques y autoguiadas en todo el estado, lo que brinda a los visitantes de todas las edades y niveles de habilidad la oportunidad de explorar al aire libre. El 1 de enero es un día de estacionamiento gratuito en todos los parques estatales de Virginia. (Todavía se aplica la tarifa de admisión en Natural Bridge).
