About this adventure
Step into the most visited state park in Virginia for a weekend autumn nature exploration at First Landing State Park. Families will wander through ancient maritime maritime forests draped in Spanish moss, crossing the famous Bald Cypress Trail boardwalk over freshwater swamp lagoons. Volunteer naturalists lead morning family trail walks pointing out migratory coastal songbirds, wintering waterfowl, harmless basking turtles, and native wetland flora transitioning into golden fall foliage. The trails leading from the Trail Center are hard-packed sand and level wooden boardwalks, making them stroller-friendly for all-terrain prams. The visitor center provides clean modern restrooms with changing tables, educational taxidermy touch exhibits, and free junior ranger nature activity booklets.
