Watershed is the process by which rainfall and lake water at the park finds their way to the Chesapeake Bay. Along the way water comes across challenges, both natural and human made.

Visit the ranger station set up near the Lakeside Snack Bar and interact with our 3D landscape model to see ways we can keep our water cleaner and our environment safer.

Acerca de Clean the Bay Day

Each year Virginia State Parks participates in the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Clean the Bay Day, an event dedicated to protecting and preserving the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Park visitors are invited to join a clean-up to help remove litter, debris and pollution from rivers, streams and shorelines that feed into the Bay, contributing to the health of the Bay’s ecosystem and ensuring cleaner water and safer habitats for wildlife.
